The terror group had also threatened to attack Lagos, Abuja and Borno State.
Seaking with State House correspondents after the security meeting that had neither President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in attendance, Olonishakin stressed that theirs was to maintain military operations while political decisions are left for the politicians.

Responding to demand for the ransom of Chibok girls with Boko Haram detainees, the CDs said: “That is a political decision to be taken. The military decision is that we are going ahead with our operations. The operation is being conducted appropriately.”
Chibok girls supposed to have been released ever since by swapping them with the girls who were allegedly granted amnesty. That BH numbers were sufficient enough to be used as first test instead of the uncoditional pardon made to those who wrecked havoc to the nation. These girls are suffering. If the BH is sincere, let the Government please take bold step to grant their request. It does not matter if the most dangerous BH leaders are released in exchange of these innocent girls. Otherwise BH will definately wipe out the defenceless Children claiming that they are killed by air strike. Although Nigeria Government attempt to wipe out Bh can consequently destroy the whole people in the forest including the very girls that generated great controvercy all over the word. Then what is the gain? After which the very insurgents are later released or imprisoned at the expense of tax payers money when the war ends which l doubt of its possible ending because this people are heartless and demonic in operation and devil can never go to sleep until the Kingdom comes.
Chibock girls supposed to have been released ever since By swapping them overtime with BH insurgets who were earlier granted pardon without any condition.
These girls are suffering. Please if it takes to grant all detained insurgents pardon to enable the remaining girls gain their freedom, let the government do so now. I plead. These insurgents are demon possessed and will continue their atrocities even worst without end until the Kingdom comes.
