Boko Haram has finally demanded a ransom of approximately N10 billion (£36 million) for the release of the 219 schoolgirls kidnapped from Chibok in Borno state, the Telegraph is reporting.
According to the United Kingdom newspaper, the terrorist sect has made contact with the Nigerian government and have expressed willingness to negotiate for the freedom of the girls.
A previous deal brokered by the Red Cross in 2015 fell through after prison officials said some of the Boko Haram top men that were to be released in place of the girls were not in their custody.
The new ransom request emerged days before the second anniversary of the abduction of the girls on April 14, 2014.
A source close Boko Haram said that around three months ago, Boko Haram sent a message saying it would exchange the girls for a ransom of 10bn Naira, the equivalent of around £36m.
“The ransom demand has split the government,” said the source. “Some think it would be worth it just to resolve the Chibok situation, but others say it will simply allow Boko Haram to hire yet more insurgent recruits.”
The same source also said that a month after the ransom demand, Boko Haram had secretly passed the government a new video tape showing 15 of the kidnapped girls.
“The girls are asked what their Christian names are and what their new Muslim names are,” the source said, referring to the “conversion” that Boko Haram forces Christian prisoners to undergo. “They are also asked if they have been raped or mistreated, but they say no – they look relaxed.”

A big fraud and hoax !
Please let them keep the girls… Nigerians have dashed them. The scam of the highest order “Chibok Girls”.
Politics in action
Greatest scam of the century…
We don’t need chibok girls anymore…
If you want more , you can still have some…..
if this is true then i think they should listen to them and invite expert in that filed to deal with this issue ,we are talking about life here and this kids are very important
Who’s account is the money going to, often if chibok are real, releasing them is treat to the society at large. The parents of all chibok girl should come out to provide the birth certificate of each girl also there primary school leaving certificate and jss3 certificate. To qualify them as their father. Ole barawo. Chibok girls is mere propaganda.
Just look at their faces like monkeys,okay let’s think about it they are all Muslims assume they are Christian by now no one will remember the topic..
Those girls are now reasoning like them. Is too late. Boko haram cowards in devil’s body. Boko haram and Isis is big business.There is Nothing to do with any Religion. Anything about these killers shouldn’t surface on media is no news. Children of the devils on earth.
Invite and listen to terrorists and then give them 10 billion to buy more arms?
Even if is true, what is the need of returning them after making their lives miserable. One are they going to turn them to Christians again, two are they going to return their V-g-nity rather they have train them to become more dangerous than them boko haram. Government and their propaganda?
Something is wrong somewhere …why keep them for so long if you wanted money…this has more to do with money……they should get the girls but before taking them back home they need to go to military rehab to confirmed they have not been turned against us.

Thieves … I guess they are running short of money… Which girls???
Without sounding subjective, the Federal Government mustn’t give in to this hefty ransome. For which reasons are; (1) The money will re-emerge the group’s attacks in full force ever seen. (2) It will lead to recruiting of new members (3) Arms and ammunition will be purchased (4) There is every possibility they will kidnap another girls in the nearest term in a bid to secure another ransome from the government.
