What Boko Haram members are demanding in exchange for Chibok girls

According to President Buhari, Boko Haram leaders are
asking for the freedom of one of its arrested leaders in
exchange for the release of the over 200 kidnapped Chibok
girls. Buhari said this while speaking to Nigerians living in
Paris yesterday September 15th.
"They wanted us to release one of their leaders who is a
strategic person in developing and making Improvised IEDs
that is causing a lot of havoc in the country by blowing
people in Churches, Mosque, market places, motor parks
and other places. But it's very important that if we are going
to talk to any body, we have to know how much he is worth.
Let them bring all the girls and then, we will be prepared to
negotiate, I will allow them to come back to Nigeria or to be
absolved in the community.
We have to be very careful, the concern we have for the
Chibok girls, one only imagine if they got a daughter there
between 14 and 18 and for more than one and a half year, a
lot of the parents who have died would rather see the graves
of their daughters rather the condition they imagine they are
in.
This has drawn a lot of sympathy though out the world, that
is why this government is getting very hard in negotiating
and getting the balance of those who are alive, ” he said
