Report has it that the Federal Government is in a secret meeting with
Boko Haram.
According to reports by The Nation, the parley is close to a
fruitful deal termed the “New Deal”.
Read what an anonymous source told the reporters:
"We
are inching to a reasonable agreement on the release of the Chibok girls. I
think a fundamental result will soon be achieved. The mediators are really
sincere to end the hostage of the girls. There will be something positive
soon.”
"All the parties are hopeful. That was why the Council of
State was optimistic about approach to the rescue of the Chibok girls by the
government".
"The military hierarchy is aware that a kind of negotiation
or discussion is on and it is being facilitated by some mediators. This is
purely a government thing. The government is actually flowing along with
the insurgents, but it is treating all issues with ‘great’ caution. The
government did not reject the offer to have talks with representatives of the
insurgents; it is only being careful because no one is sure of the commitment
of Boko Haram leadership to the truce".
"The mediators have been making some demands like go and put
certain things in place or a number of vehicles in some places or some
logistics for the release of the girls. The government cannot just jump at
the logistics without getting the right signal that the insurgents are
sincere".
