There was a plan in place for there to be a swap of some 100 Boko Haram detainees, and if they were released, then 50 of the girls were going to be set free by the Boko Haram Islamist militants.

This was earlier this month, and it actually was about to happen this swap, and then we are told that the government cancelled the deal, and so the whole thing was called off.
