The cleric's media aide added that some Nigerian Army Generals were very instrumental in the release of the captives.
Mamu who happens to be the publisher of Desert Herald was quoted by Daily Trust to have said:
“It was expected initially that all the abducted women will be released in the first batch while negotiations for the release of the remaining victims will continue but the abductors had cut down the number of women they initially agreed to release because the Nigerian Government had demanded that they include those with life-threatening injuries among the released.”

Meanwhile, Thamina Mahmood who was one of the dozens of people kidnapped by Boko Haram fighters who attacked the Abuja-Kaduna railway about two months ago had opened up on the sad event.
The woman who appeared in black Muslim attire, putting on a face mask, stated that the terrorists released her because of her condition.
In an interview with journalists, she disclosed that only negotiation would secure the safe release of other victims in the kidnapper's den.
