According to an interpretation by Daily Trust, Buhari said:
“They
 have scattered them, and are being guarded at dispersed locations. Most
 of the girls are Christians and were forced to embrace Islam. And the 
sect’s cruel leaders have married some of the girls, obviously against 
their wish. Others have been left to practice their religion but their 
condition could hardly be ascertained.”
“Both
 ground and air security personnel in the Sambisa forest could spot 
where the girls are, but since the insurgents have also kidnapped 
housewives and other women, no one could say whether they mixed them or 
how they dispersed them.”
The Chibok girls were abducted on April 14, 2014, and most of them remain in captivity.
Buhari had earlier said that he would negotiate with Boko Haram if it would lead to the girls’ release.
