Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the 2007 general elections and Country Director, Network for Good Governance (N4GG), Chief Sunny Onuesoke, has described the demand by Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, to swap the abducted Chibok girls for Boko Haram prisoners, as unjustifiable, unreasonable, irritating and cheap blackmail.
Onuesoke, who spoke to journalists in Lagos, yesterday, said Shekau’s demand was devoid of logic and could not be found in law and morality, advising the Federal Government not to succumb to blackmail.
He advised government not to compromise, adding that those who had committed crimes against humanity could not dictate the terms of their release from detention.
“They should account for their crimes. In which country is that practiced? People offended the state. Their ring leaders who sent them on an unlawful errand to invade a school and took innocent girls are giving conditions. They are saying that their members in detention should be released before they release the girls. Where is that done in the world?,” angry Onuosoke asked .
