The Boko Haram sect, which abducted over 200 schoolgirls from Chibok two years ago, reportedly wants to broker a deal with the Nigerian government. They are offering to release the remaining kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls in return for avoiding execution.
Two of the girls were rescued recently. It is believed that only a third of the abducted girls are still alive.
According to a report in The Times, senior members of the terrorist group said:
“We want to surrender because things are getting worse,” said Amir Muhammad Abdullahi, who is reportedly Boko Haram’s second in command. He said no side was winning the battle and that only a third of the girls remained, as “the rest have been martyred”.
