82 kidnapped Chibok girls have been released.
After lengthy negotiations, Nigeria's security agencies have taken back these girls, in exchange for some Boko Haram suspects held by the authorities.
The released #ChibokGirls are due to arrive in Abuja tomorrow Sunday May 7, and will be received by the President.
In a press statement released by Garba Sheu, the senior special assistant to the President, President Muhammadu Buhari expresses his deep gratitude to all who played a part in ensuring the success of this operation, as follows: Security agencies, the military, the Government of Switzerland, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and local and international NGOs.
The President again repeatedly expresses his total commitment towards ensuring the safe return of the #ChibokGirls, and all other Boko Haram captives.
The President received detailed briefings from the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS) at every stage of the negotiations/operation.
