Minister of Information and Culture, LAI MOHAMMED at a media briefing, said the federal government neither paid ransom nor swapped any Boko Haram member to secure the release of the girls.
MOHAMMED also revised upwards the number of kidnapped schoolgirls as well as the number of released girls.
The Minister also dismissed reports of a supposed sergeant in the Nigerian Army, named DAVID BAKO, who claimed to have played a part in an alleged conspiracy by the government to abduct the Dapchi girls.
