Wall Street Journal claims that Nigeria paid €3million for the release of Chibok girls

According to Wall Street Journal, the Federal Government paid €3
million for the release of some Chibok schoolgirls who were in Boko
Haram custody,

In 2014, Boko Haram insurgents had kidnapped 276 girls from Government
Girls Secondary School, Chibok in Borno state. Of the 276, 163 are now
free: 57 fled in the early days after their abduction, three escaped
later, and a Swiss-coached mediation secured 103.

21 of the 103 were freed on October 13, 2016, while the remaining 82
were freed on May 6 this year. In a detailed report on the incident, WSJ
said while €1 million was paid for the 21 first freed, additional €2
million accompanied the five Boko Haram commanders that were exchanged
with the next batch: the 82 girls.
