Nigeria: We Are Negotiating Release of Chibok Girls - - Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday said his administration was continuing negotiation for the release of the abducted Chibok school girls.
Over 200 school girls were abducted by the insurgent group, Boko Haram, from their school hostel in Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state in April 2014.
