Kaduna govnor Nasir El-Rufai yan say pressure from pipo no go make am change im stance of not negotiating with terrorists and bandits after video from 2014 comot wey show am dey call on goment of former president Goodluck Jonathan to negotiate for di release of di Chibok Girls.

From di intro wey di kidnappers do for Hausa language dem first introduce dia victims as students of Kaduna college of forestry and one of di kidnappers tell di oda say make dem make female students tok first.

"Ka bari mace ta fara magana."(allow female to tok first) One of dem was heard telling di oda kidnapper.

Dem do dis one before dem call di first lady to speak.

As a way to show lack of confidence for goment side, di female student wey di kidnappers allow to tok first in Hausa language tok say she dey beg parents to helep dem.
