As more reactions continue to emerge as a result of the release of 21 Chibok girls by Boko Haram, the Federal Government on Thursday dismissed reports that it swapped four high profile Boko Haram prisoners to effect the release of 21 Chibok schoolgirls .
This was disclosed by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, during a news conference in Abuja.
Some reports had said that the government swapped four high profile Boko Haram detained commanders for the release of the abducted Chibok school girls
But Mohammed while dismissing the report said, “Please note that this is not a swap, but a release.”
“People want to believe bad news than good news. The girls were released, there was no swap.”
According to Mohammed, a team of medical doctors, social workers and psychologists have been assembled to examine the girls when they arrive in Abuja
