President Muhammadu Buhari has said that there is no credible evidence if the Chibok Girls are still alive.
He stated this while answering questions during his maiden Presidential Media Chat in Aso Villa, Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
He said security agencies are trying to get credible intelligence about the fate of the over 200 schoolgirls who were kidnapped in April 2014.
Buhari said neighbouring countries were also being contacted to determine whether they are in those countries.
He said his government wouldn’t mind negotiating with credible Boko Haram leaders to free the girls if it could be ascertained that they were still alive.
At the time of this report, the President was till fielding questions from journalists.
