Following the release of 82 chibok girls, the minister of women affairs and social development Jummai Al-Hassan says some of the girls have bullet fragments on their bodies and would require surgery.
“The surgery is expected to be completed in two to three weeks,” Aisha Alhassan said on Thursday.
The minister also revealed that government is still negotiating to facilitate the release of remaining Chibok girls in captivity with Boko Haram detainees.
About 113 Chibok girls out of the 276 kidnapped from the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state, in April 2014, are still in Boko Haram captivity.
While addressing a press conference, the minister said: “Negotiations are ongoing to exchange the remaining girls with Boko Haram detainees, we can’t afford to keep them any longer.
“We have no apologies or regrets whatsoever for exchanging Boko Haram detainees for our daughters. We’ll do it again if needed.”
