Featuring on BBC Programme, Hard Talk on Tuesday, the Army Chief said, ''As far as I am concerned, we performed our own role for the safe passage of the abducted Chibok girls.

“The Boko Haram terrorists’ swap for the Chibok schoolgirls was a political decision, not a military decision. It is in the best interest of the nation and based on the circumstances, the government felt it was the best course.

“Personally, I think it has its own advantages; the message is to rescue the Chibok girls.
