According to The Nation, Boko Haram has released a list of 19 of its commanders to be swapped with 30 Chibok girls.


They also included the names of the 30 girls, who may be set free to test the Federal Government’s commitment to the swap deal before 189 others can be released.

The girls – 15 Christians and 15 Muslims – may be released after Eid-el-Kabir festival if negotiations go well. However the government is still insisting on the release of all the 218 girls for them to have a "meaningful swap deal”.
They say the Federal Government and its negotiation facilitators will return to negotiate only if all the girls would be released

Some of the 30 girls in the first batch were said to have been given consideration upon discovery that they are married with children.
.
The Christian girls to be released are:
Mary Usman;
Julie Yakubu;
Jummai Paul;
Rahila Bitrus;
Rabika Lukas;
Rodha John;
Naomi Yohanna;
Ruth Kolo;
Tabitha Fagu;

Aishatu Grema; 
Aisha Lawan; 
Halima Gamba; 
Kabu Malla; 
Mariam Abubakar; 
Rakiya Gamba;
Hamsatu Abubakar; 
Hasana Adamu.

As at press time, only the names of 20 of the 30 girls were made available to The Nation by a source, who said the list was restricted for “strategic purpose”.

The 19 Boko Haram commanders for the trade-off are: 
Awwal Albani Sultaniya; 
Malam Abdullahi Damasak; 
Mallam Bashir; 
Baa Malam; 
Mallam Tijjani al Barnawi; 
Mallam Musa Moby; 
Mallam Awara; 
Mallam Zindar Zindawi; 
Baa Alhaji; 
Bana Mongono; 
Baraa Mallami; 
Sheikh Umar ibn Mustapha; 
Mallam Jabir Al Jjihad; 
Tanko al Kurd; 
Mallam Aradu; 
Abidina Janzila  
Mallam Aboul Kaka.

A source said the 30 girls will be released on compassionate ground by the sect to demonstrate that it is “really committed to the swap deal and had treated the girls with fairness.”

Another source said:

“The government is adamant on the release of all the 219 girls because the 19 commanders demanded by Boko Haram are “key strategists of the sect”.
“Some of the commanders are ‘deadly’ because they are ready to lay down their lives any time. They do not hide their commitment to the sect even in their various detention facilities in Maiduguri, Kaduna and Abuja.
“In fact, security agencies are skeptical about freedom for Malam Abdullahi Damasak, who is rated as the ‘most lethal’ among the commanders.
“The government is circumspect that if the 19 commanders are released, Boko Haram might only let 30 girls free instead of 219. The government does not want to fall into any negotiation trap which will compound the woes of the abducted girls.”
What do you think guys? Should they swap them? What would be the best decision the government can take at this point?
