Nigeria’s Buhari says fraudsters asked government for money to negotiate Chibok girls release

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari said fraudsters have asked the government for money to negotiate the release of more 200 girls abducted by Boko Haram militants over two years ago from their school in the northeastern town of Chibok town.

“While the rescue and safe return of the remaining Chibok girls remains a top priority of his administration, he will not fall for the antics of fraudsters,” his spokesman, Femi Adesina, said.
