JUMMAI Alhassan, Nigerian minister of women affairs and social development, has said that Boko Haram terrorists will soon released the remaining Chibok girls in their captivity.

Stating that the federal government was working towards this, Alhassan appealed to the Boko Haram sect to embrace dialogue and release not only Chibok girls but also other Nigerians in their captivity and stop the insurgency in the North East.

According to her, “Negotiation with the Boko Haram leaders is still going on. You know the first 21 were released in October last year, and about six or seven months later, 82 others came. We are hopeful that by the grace of God, the rest will be released also.

“You heard me pleading with the people that are keeping the girls that they should please see reason and negotiate with the government and embrace dialogue not only because of the release of the Chibok girls but also the release of others that are in their captivity and even to stop the insurgency.

“They should dialogue and see reason and that whatever it is, they should come to the table. Government is ready to engage them in a dialogue. “
