The Senate President, Mr David
Mark, reacting to the recent the
recent demand of Abubakar Shekau,
the leader of the Boko Haram
insurgent group on Tuesday in
Beijing said that Nigeria would not
negotiate with the islamists or any
other terrorist group.
The islamists demanded that the
kidnapped school girls would be
released on condition of prison
swap.
Shekau had made the demand in a
recent video he posted online.
``Nigeria will not negotiate with
terrorists under any circumstance. If
we negotiate with
them, they will
get a few more people and then we
begin to negotiate again.
``You do not negotiate with
criminals, you do not negotiate with
terrorists. We are going to bring the
girls back safe and sound, every
effort will be made to rescue them.
``For a criminal to parade himself
and be asking for negotiation, I
think that is the height of insult on
any nation," he said.
