Senate President, David Mark yesterday has said the Federal Government of Nigeria will not consider negotiating with the Boko Haram insurgents for release of the 276 abducted school girls in Chibok, Borno state as an option but will do all that is expedient to free the girls held captives..
The Leader of Boko Haram Sect had in a video message boasted ' These are the girls abducted by us that the Nigerian government has been calling for their release. We won't release them to you and you can't take them away from us no matter how you tried. We would only release them if you, the government release our brothers you have arrested and detained for 4 to 5 years now', declared Shekau in the video message .
But the senate president in his reaction to Shekau's brazen declaration pointedly told journalists in Beijing , China , that the federal government would not negotiate with terrorists of which Shekau is one, under whatever circumstance,
Mark said negotiating with terrorists as proposed by Shekau over the abducted girls , may not serve any good purpose but to further give them room to wreck more havoc on both the country and the citizens without even them fulfilling any terms of agreement that may be entered into with them with no platform of trust whatsoever.
He said : Nigeria will not negotiate with terrorists under any circumstance because you don't negotiate with criminals which Boko Haram insurgents are.
'We are doing every thing possible to bring the girls back safe and sound for their parents without any negotiation with Boko Haram as every effort towards that which cannot be disclosed in the public is being made to rescue the girls'.
