While noting that the fifth anniversary of the sad event was a few days ago, Mohammed pointed that it was the engagement of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government that led to the release of 107 of the girls, assuring that the government is still engaging in trying to find out where the girls are and what has become of them.

“However, some of these negotiations are very delicate due largely to the fact that it takes a lot of time and there is a sort of rationalization within the terrorist group.

“We are still working with our Swiss partners and the others every day so that we can be able to track where these girls are, what has become of them and how many are left.

“However, these are not something you can disclose, anyhow because of the sensitivity,” he said.
