The Federal Government said a total of 106 abducted persons, comprising 104 Daphi schoolgirls, one other girl and a boy were freed by insurgents in the early hours of Wednesday.

Briefing journalists in Maiduguri, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said all the 106 persons were freed unconditionally, contrary to reports in a section of the media that ransom was paid and that some insurgents were swapped for the freed persons.

''It is not true that we paid ransom for the release of the Dapchi girls, neither was there a prisoner swap to secure their release.

''What happened was that the abduction itself was a breach of the ceasefire talks between the insurgents and the government, hence it became a moral burden on the abductors. Any report that we paid ransom or engaged in prisoner swap is false,'' he said.

Meanwhile, the freed persons have been formally handed over to the Federal Government.

The Theatre Commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj.-Gen. Rogers Nicholas, handed over the girls and one boy to the four-member Federal Government Delegation at the Nigerian Air Force base in Maiduguri on Wednesday evening

The delegation comprised the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed; the Minister of Interior, Gen. Abdulrahman Danbazau (retired); the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Hajia Khadija Bukar Abba Ibrahim and Hon. Goni Lawan Bukar, a member of House of Representatives from Dapchi.

The girls were immediately airlifted to Abuja aboard a military transport plane.

Chei

Nigeria is a joke





Is it because we don't criticize much, or because we don't protest or because we are much busy watching BBnaija

That made these politicians to take us as fools

And after meeting with the president, credit alert will follow next for a job well done.



If you can recall, the just concluded CHAN tournament where the Home based Eagles came second behind the Morrocans, the president in his senseless behavior delayed so much in hosting the team for doing us proud, postponing them up and down like beggars.

Buhari is a Vagabond,

It's obvious the whole kidnap charade was politically orchestrated simply to score some marks against the previous administration.

But come 2019,

Straight to Daura.....

All I can do is to keep apologizing to GEJ and his Wife




When mama peace was shading tears all we could see in her tears was her grammatical blunders instead of the real truth



God have mercy

Another millions wasted.

He should go and meet them instead.

Thank you Mr President

Buhari the joker


Dapchi ko ogechi ni

Had it been GEJ reacted with vigour in this manner, our Chibok girls would have been enjoying freedom now.
Thank you Baba

Strange things Happening in our Land

This is purely arranged, its like watching Nollywood movie. Nigeria is a joke as a country, a few individual and an 80 year old pensioner is taking us all for a fool. Only this fake kidnaping arrangement am sure this government spent billions to arrange it.

Nigeria is Finished!!!

What a script

The kind things wey dey happen for that north ehn e no go beta for Buhari and Apc

OMG: Okon Must Go!

Waste of time and resources.

APC is a joke

Same as the Chibok script..

Lol..... It is "annoyingly funny" reading the emboldened. Ceasefire but suicide bombers are still bombing.
Can anyone share any news link here showing when this ceasefire agreement was reached? At least I know with Niger Delta Militants, their ceasefire talks always make headlines.

Hehe ...To Meet With They Hero.

Ok
It's well

I thought BH said they were returned and not rescued, why is the Nigerian government claiming credit for it


What do I know sef?

Cant Buhari goan meet them instead of wasting money to fly them all....

Well.....he started the whole thing and they say thugs feel safest at home.

Yours faithfully,

President of a Non Sheeeethole Country
