Terrorist sect, Boko Haram has released 21 of the girls and presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu in confirming the release, said it was brokered by the Red Cross and the Swiss government.
It was gathered that representatives of the Department of State Service (DSS) and a local NGO based in Maiduguri handled the last leg of deal.
They were flown in a chopper from Maiduguri to Kumshe where they met with Shekau’s representatives and received the girls.
However, the Swiss Government and the Red Cross immediately issued a disclaimer saying were not part of the deal.
It was gathered the Swiss Government and Red Cross had to distanced themselves so that they are not seen publicly to have been involved because international convention prohibits negotiating with terrorists organizations.
