Nigerian Government is yet to receive any credible information on the whereabouts of the Chibok girls, President Muhammdu Buhari admitted on Wednesday.
President Buhari, who fielded questions from a team of senior journalists during his maiden media chat, said the honest truth was that nobody can really say if the girls are still alive.
The over 200 Chibok schoolgirls who were abducted by the Boko Haram sect in April, 2014, are yet to be released.
However, it appears that there is no hope that the girls would return so soon, if the words of the President are anything to go by.
Reacting to a question from one of the panelists, Buhari bluntly said, “We are still keeping our option.
“If a credible leadership of Boko Haram is ready for negotiation without any condition we are ready to listen to them.
“We are looking for a credible intelligence that will convince us that the girls are alive.
“That is the honest truth. No credible information.”
He said he was in touch with his counterparts in Chad, Cameroon and Niger Republic but yet, no credible intelligence report on the whereabouts of the girls.
