THE CHEEK ... THE CRMINALS EVEN HAVE THE COURAGE TO TALK : CHIBOK GIRLS: Release our detained members today, get your girls tomorrow – Boko Haram ... TodayNews

An unidentified alleged member of the infamous Boko Haram sect has insisted that the federal government must release its detained members inorder to secure release of the over 200 Chibok schoolgirls abducted from their secondary in Borno three months ago. He made the revelation via the BBC World Service. 

Speaking in a distorted pattern, the alleged member of the sect further revealed he was a teacher in the sect and joined the group in 2004. 

 He revealed to the BBC that the girls were in “a state of amnesty”, healthy and eating well, adding that the Christians who refused to convert to Islam were not forced to do so as it is anti-Islamic, This Day reports. 

 The Boko Haram member maintained that the girls were taken for a specific reason and reiterated the condition for their release, adding that the girls would be released once the federal government met the terrorist group’s demands for a prisoner exchange deal. 

“Today, if the government releases our members, tomorrow or the next day, we promise you can see all of them. As our leader Abubakar Shekau promised to the media, if the government releases our members, we will release them.”

 On the condition of the girls, the Boko Haram teacher said: “I am telling a fact, they are in a state of amnesty, they don’t have a problem. Some of them have belief in Islam, some of them said they will not convert to Islam, but we did not differentiate. We are not forcing them or putting them under any pressure. 

“Those who agreed to convert to Islam have been converted and those who refused we left them, we said stay. There is no forced conversion in Islam. Allah commands us to treat everyone equally. We are not differentiating them; we treat all of them equally. “They all are healthy. They are feeding well. If you see them now, you will see that they don’t have any problem.” 

He added that under the Islamic faith the killing of women and children was unacceptable except they are the aggressors, but pointed out that some of them might get caught in the crossfire in the event of bombings or attacks.
