The Minister of Interior, Gen. Abdurrahman Danbazau, on Friday expressed optimism that more of the Boko Haram-held Chibok girls would soon be released as promised by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress government.
Danbazau stated this in Minna while speaking to newsmen on the sidelines of the wedding Fatiha of Halima Babangida, daughter of Former Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida.
“By the grace of God, I believe more of the girls will be released as promised by President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Before this administration came on board, not a single girl was released, but now, over 100 have been freed,” he said.
Danbazau called on Nigerians to have confidence in the ability of government to secure the release of the remaining school girls being held captive by the insurgents.
The minister also disclosed that the Federal Government was doing its best to ensure security of lives and property across the country.

“Just yesterday, I met with the police chief and prominent traditional rulers across the country to discuss the way forward as regards security,” he said.
Meanwhile, he wished the couple a happy married life and advised them to tolerate each other.
