Mr. Buhari is meet with the group at the banquet hall of the presidential villa, the National Security Adviser, Mohammed Monguno, said. However, reports at the time of the meeting says the press has been asked to exit the hall, and all recording gadgets switched off.

There had been a stand-off at the presidential villa, Abuja, as members of the BBOG group campaigning for the release of school girls abducted by Boko Haram from Chibok in 2014, insisted they be allowed to meet Mr. Buhari.

Members of the group were instead met by a government team comprising the Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Al-Hassan; Minister of Defense, Monsur Dan-Ali; National Security Adviser, Mohammed Monguno; and the Chief of Defense Staff, Abayomi Olonishakin.
