'We know where they are' Borno State Governor claims there is intelligence on missing Chibok schoolgirls.

The governor of Borno state from where over 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped by Islamist militants claims to know where some of them are being held.
Kashim Shettima, the Governor of Borno, said that he’d received reports of sightings of the girls and had passed on this information to the military.
Extremist group Boko Haram seized 276 girls who were taking exams at a school in Borno's north-eastern village of Chibok on April 14. Some managed to escape, but around 200 remain missing.

The Archbishop said he had negotiated in the past with a predecessor group of Boko Haram and suggested it might be ‘possible’ to strike a deal  although he warned it was ‘questionable’ who was in charge of the group.

He added: ‘You have a very, very difficult inner core (of Boko Haram) and I think negotiations there are extremely complicated, though it needs to be tried.
'And then it goes out and out in different layers of commitment and understanding and involvement. There needs to be active negotiation and contact with all those different layers.’

The Archbishop leads the Anglican communion worldwide, which has about 18 million members in Nigeria, making it the second largest Christian church.
