submitted a list of its men it wants the Federal Government to release
in exchange for the abducted school girls seized at the Government
Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State in April, a Punch report said.
The process of verification of the status of the men on the list has
also started, the report quoted a security source as saying.
This verification is to ascertain the state of health of the Boko Haram men.
