GEJ's govt was swindled after negotiating with fake B'Haram leaders-Presidency

The Presidency has said unlike the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan which was swindled after negotiating with fake leaders of the Boko Haram ,this government is being careful in its bid to secure the release of the Chibok girls abducted in April 2014.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said this while featuring on a programme aired on Radio Continental 102.3 FM...When asked if there were any moves to secure their release,he said

  We need to know a little bit of what happened behind the scenes, between the last government and some people masquerading as the leadership of Boko Haram who wanted to get the Chibok girls released. They actually turned it into a franchise, it became a commercial thing and they got money, possibly in millions of dollars, only for government to discover it had been swindled. They kept saying they could get the girls released , they could interface with Boko Haram and they went smiling to the bank with all that money, and nothing happened. So you should understand why this government is being careful and the President has said the genuineness of the leadership of Boko Haram must be determined before any negotiation takes place.
