Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has met with people close
to Boko Haram in an attempt to secure the release of the schoolgirls kidnapped in Chibok by the sect.
The meeting which took place last weekend at Obasanjo’s farm
in Ogun State, had the
relatives of some senior Boko Haram fighters and intermediaries in attendance, Agence
France Presse quoted a source on Tuesday as saying .
“The meeting was focused on how to free the girls through
negotiation,” said the source who requested anonymity.
Obasanjo had previously sought to negotiate with the
insurgents after Boko Haram bombed the United Nations headquarters in Abuja.
