Abducted Chibok girls
Some
of the 219 schoolgirls still in the custody of Boko Haram insurgents
have taken ill, according to a prominent Australian cleric, Dr. Stephen
Davis.
Davis, a hostage negotiator, said the online publication of a British newspaper, The Mail on Sunday, was hired by President Goodluck Jonathan to broker the release of the girls.
According to the newspaper, the clergyman
who was once the Canon Emeritus at the Coventry Cathedral in London and
a friend of The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, has been in
Nigeria working secretly on the release of the girls for almost a
month now.
