The United States government on Wednesday rejected the offer from Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, to swap the over 200 Chibok students in the custody of the terrorists organization for the release of some terror prisoners in some Nigeria’s prisons.
The Department of State also noted that it would not go against the wish of the federal government of Nigeria if it wanted to go ahead with the swapping as proposed by the Boko Haram leader who further hinted on Monday in a 27-minute video that he was instructed by Allah to kidnap the female students.
