The recent release of 21 of the over 200 abducted Chibok school girls which the Federal Government said cost nothing seems to be far from the truth according to reports in the Punch.
Some highly ranked military men told Punch that despite denials by the Federal Government, money was paid to the sect to secure the release of the abducted girls.
It was learnt that the insurgents demanded for $50million for the release of the girls but about $12.5million was paid.
According to the sources the money was paid in cash to the leaders of the sect by the Federal Government in Naira and CFA’s
