Why are igbos hell bent on destabilising this administration of president Buhari with constant threats and hate speeches? From Nnamdi kanu's madness to this bitter woman who is pained by lack of appointments. Truly the igbos are their own enemies

Even though I am not igbo, I feel constrained to ask why Stu..pidity has refused to depart from you

Dis drama is becoming really embarrassing... So Boko Haram drove to town in a region with enof military presence to invade a country, packed over a hundred gals and left undetected. And den came back and dropped some of d gals still undetected and d govt calls it an unconditional release?

Think more than one step at a time. You never break a term once you negotiate...for any reason whatsoever. It is that simple. If you do that, you will lose all hope of future negotiations, some of which could be more critical than this one. If the government had agreed to give them safe passage, there was no option other than to do so. Attacking them would have endangered these girls if they were still within reach of the terrorists, and would have provoked retaliation against other soft targets at a later date by the still free accomplises of the handful of underlings that would have been arrested. It would have also destroyed all the FG's credibility, and for almost no benefit whatsoever.

Personally, I am mostly against negotiating with terrorists. I can hold this view concerning non-negotiation only because my daughter was not one of those kidnapped. Who knows, I might be at the forefront of those howling for negotiation if my daughter had been among them. It is easy to make armchair criticisms without knowing all the facts, so I prefer to keep an open mind. For now, I am glad that the girls are reunited with their parents. I believe that every considerate reasonable person should be.

Oga, this is just a well scripted movie sponsored by the FG and Nigerian Army!...how on earth can one explain the strange and sudden withdrawal of the security operatives ives stationed at that location shortly b4 the "kidnap" took place?.

This is just a move by the APC govt to score cheap political points!

What baffles me is that the BH terrorists returned the girls in broad daylight and none of those terrorists were arrested, after dropping off the girls. Were soldiers of the Nigerian Army in shock, that they were powerless to do anything, or had they been abducted as well? Because last time I checked, kidnapping was still a serious offence, in this country.

The Criminal Code Act, CAP C38, LFN 2004, provides a penalty for kidnapping. The law provides in Section 364 that –
“Any person who –
1. Unlawfully imprisons any person, and takes him out of Nigeria without his consent; or
2. Unlawfully imprisons any person within Nigeria in such a manner as to prevent him from applying to a court for his release or from discovering to any other person the place where he is imprisoned, or in such a manner as to prevent any person entitled to have access to him from discovering the place where he is imprisoned,
Is guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for ten years. “ http://www.legalnaija.com/2016/04/penalty-for-kidnapping.html

Back channel agreement. Whatever that is, I am happy the girls came back that is all that matters to me
