In a bid to rescue kidnapped chibok girls, the federal government has declared that its door is opened to sincere mediator.

 The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe made this declaration on behalf of the President when he said the Federal Government has set up a committee that will help dialogue with the dreaded boko haram sect intermediaries who have offered to persuade the sect to release the girls to come forward.

Okupe said although government appreciates the support of the international community in the ongoing rescue efforts, it considered the safety of the girls as very paramount, hence the adoption of several methods in the operation.

 “If it is to risk a few dead bodies, it is easier. You can blast the place and carry the corpses. But is that what we have to do? So it is delicate”

“They (terrorists) are ready to die. So when you are dealing with that scenario, it is very different from the ordinary kidnapping by criminals or people who don’t want to die. So it is very, very delicate.

“This is why the dialogue option is not being ruled out. We have set up a committee; what I call a dialogue committee on the security challenge we have in the north, even before the kidnapping of the Chibok girls.

“We have a team. And we encourage people to assist them. We do negotiate.  Quite a number of people have come with different information. We encourage them. But none of them has yielded any results yet,” the statement quoted the President as saying in U.S.
