Chibok Girls Update: Pressure Mounting on Jonathan to Adopt American-Taliban Swap Model



The Presidency is under pressure to adopt the America-Taliban prisoner swap model in getting back the over 200 abducted Chibok schoolgirls, it was gathered yesterday.
Under the deal, the United States (U.S.) got back its soldier, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, in exchange for five Taliban prisoners held at the Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
Sources said the Presidency is being prevailed upon to follow the U.S. example and reconsider its stand not to swap the girls for detained Boko Haram members.
Last month, the Presidency rejected the sect’s demand for a prisoner swap, saying to accede to the request would amount to fueling insurgency.
