The presidency has denied the allegation of N100 million largesse to the parents of the abducted Chibok girls during their visit to the Presidential Villa.
Following the reports, former minister of education and a leader of the BringBackOurGirls campaign, Oby Ezekwesili took to Twitter to condemn the alleged act.
A corrupting strategy odiously used as a substitute for empathy & decisive result oriented action to rescue vulnerable children? DISGUSTING.

I wish the #ChibokParents resisted the FILTHY LUCRE. REALLY wish they did. How much can douse the AGONY OF A MISSING CHILD? WE SHALL STAND.
