Chibok Girls: These Are The Names Of 82 Newly Released Girls

After nearly 3 years in captivity,  Boko Haram has released another set of 82 Chibok girls, after months of negotiations with the Federal Government.

The President Muhammadu Buhari-led government picked the option of swapping the 82 Chibok school girls with Boko Haram prisoners, over paying a ransom to the terrorist group.

Reports say the government did not want a repeat of ransom payment, as the case was during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

The Presidency has now revealed the names of the girls Buhari received at Aso Rock Villa , before he flew out to UK for further medical check-up.
