Abuja, May 29 (RHC)-- More than 30 people have been killed in the Boko Haram’s latest attack in Nigeria. Militants struck a military base in the state of Yobe, killing dozens of government forces.

The attack comes amid rumors of talks between government and Boko Haram representatives over freeing the more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls. Nigeria’s former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has reportedly met with figures close to the Boko Haram.

The Nigerian government has ruled out formal talks but has not denied that some form of discussion is underway. The head of Nigeria’s armed forces has said the military now knows where the abducted girls are being held, but has ruled out using force to rescue them for fear of endangering their lives.
