Leader of the Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau has given a condition under which the remaining Chibok schoolgirls in captivity would be released.

In a video, the Boko Haram released on Thursday,  24 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari visited Borno, Shekau said the schoolgirls would be set free if the regime let go of the sect members currently in detention.
