More details have emerged on how the Boko Haram terrorists
in prison were swapped by Chibok girls. According to presidential spokesman,
Garba Shehu, the Swiss government and International Committee of the Red Cross
(ICRC) were behind the negotiations.
It seems that it was the ICRC that helped in the physical
swap.
AFP was told by a source that the girls were brought in Red
Cross vehicles to Kumshe, which is about 15km (nine miles) from a military base
in Banki, a town that borders Cameroon.
"The four Boko Haram militants were brought to Banki
from Maiduguri in a military helicopter from where they were driven to Kumshe
in ICRC vehicles," the source said.
Another source added: "The 21 girls arrived in Banki
around 3:00 (0:200 GMT) where they found a military helicopter waiting.”
