Officials Could Negotiate With Terrorists to Free Kidnapped Nigerian Schoolgirls

Nigeria’s mission to find kidnapped girls ‘pathetic’

ABUJA, Nigeria – Nigeria's government still is open to negotiating with Boko Haram extremists for the release of 209 schoolgirls kidnapped in April 2014, President Muhammadu Buhari said Wednesday.

He said they are ready to negotiate without preconditions but only if they can identify a credible leadership. Other attempts under the previous administration failed because officials apparently were talking to the wrong people in the fragmented group.

Hundreds of captives have been freed in recent months as Nigeria's military has driven the Islamic extremists into a northeastern forest enclave. But none of the girls abducted from a school in Chibok town were among them.

There is "no firm intelligence on where those girls are physically located and what condition they are in," Buhari said in a nationally televised press conference but "I assure you that the cause of the Chibok girls is on our minds."
