List of Detained Boko Haram Wants Swapped for Abducted Chibok Girls

#BringBackOurGirls Protest enters Day 130

The failed high level negotiations between Boko Haram leaders and the Nigerian government team, led by a former Minister of Information, Edwin Clark, would have seen the country swapping 16 detained terrorists for 220 Chibok girls.

The names submitted for the swap are said to contain mainly the sect’s middle commanders who are being detained in various detention centres across the country.

Sources close to the negotiation said there are three other insurgents whose names were communicated through telephone calls, during later discussions, directly to representatives of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, who facilitated the talks.

Two names were initially sent but shortly afterwards, one more was called in making a total of 16.

As we reported Thursday, after weeks of tough negotiations, the government and Boko Haram sides finally accepted to what famously came to be dubbed the “prisoner swap” of the Chibok girls with some commanders of the Boko Haram fighting forces.
