Boko Haram member speaks with BBC, says only prisoner exchange can secure the girls release

A man who described himself as a teacher/
scholar inside the Boko Haram camp today July

release the over 200 Chibok girls they abducted
on April 14th at the Government Girls Secondary
School in Chibok.
"Yes we want the Nigerian government to
release our members. As our leader
Abubakar Shekau promised to the media, if
today the government releases our
members, tomorrow or the next day we
promise you can see all of them (the girls)
sure. We would release them tomorrow or
the next day." he told BBC World Radio.

Seaking further, the man said the abducted girls
are in good condition and are well catered for
"I am telling you a fact, they are in a state
of amnesty. They don't have a problem.
Some of them have belief in Islam, some of
them say they would not convert to Islam
but we didn't differentiate them, we treat
them equally. They are healthy, feeding and
all these. We didn't differentiate between
them at all, why because, Allah commands
us to do them equally. Some of them say
they would not come back to Islam, we ask
them to stay, no problem. There is no
forcing in Islam but some of them not
Muslims are converting to Islam but we are
not differentiating them. If you see them
now, you would see they don't have any
problem"he said
The man also said Boko Haram attacks anyone
who gives out information about them and their
activities
"Under Islam, killing children and women is
not accepted you understand, but if they
are fighting you, then you must fight them
but if they are not fighting you, then it is
not accepted weather they are Muslims or
non-Muslims. Do not fight them, it is not
accepted but if you bomb somewhere or
make arrest somewhere, it will affect them
but killing children and women is not
accepted" he said
