President Muhammadu Buhari has said Nigeria’s government is prepared to negotiate with Islamist sect, Boko Haram to secure the release of over 200 schoolgirls kidnapped last year.
He said negotiations can only be possible if credible leaders of the sect are identified.
“We are prepared to negotiate with them without any preconditions,” Buhari told journalists in a televised interview on Wednesday.
Boko Haram seized the girls from their dormitories in the northeastern town of Chibok in April 2014, sparking international outrage.
He said there was no firm intelligence on the whereabouts of the girls or whether they are still alive.
