The Senate President, David Mark, said on Tuesday in Beijing that Nigeria would not negotiate with Boko Haram or any other terrorist group.

Mr. Mark made the declaration while reacting to the recent demand of the acclaimed leader of the sect, Abubakar Shekau, that the kidnapped school girls would be released only if the sect’s members in detention are released.
Mr. Shekau made the demand in a video released on Monday.
