With the break down of peace talks between the Federal Government and the dreaded Boko Haram sect, a supposed Secretary-general of the group, Mallam Danladi Ahmadu has said the ceasefire agreement is still on track.
Speculations are rife that the final meeting between the group and Federal Government to finally seal the ceasefire agreement has been scheduled for Monday in Ndjamena, Chad and to be supervised by the Chadian leader, Idris Derby.
Mallam Ahmadu, who reportedly spoke in the Hausa service of the Voice of America (VOA) yesterday, affirmed that the Chibok schoolgirls would surely be released on Monday to the Chadian President, Idriss Derby for onward presentation to the Nigerian government.
He further stated that an enlarged meeting of the group has been fixed for the weekend to prepare grounds for the Monday meeting with the Federal Government.
Ahmadu also reportedly disclosed to VOA that the group and the Federal Government are in close consultations over arrangements for the Monday meeting in Chad.
In a similar development, Ahmadu has said the latest kidnap of over 40 women and girls in the border villages between Adamawa and Borno states, Ahmadu maintained that as far as the Boko Haram is concerned, it is not aware of the latest kidnap and attacks.
He added that in as much as the group is investigating the latest kidnap and attacks to determine the involvement of its members, he revealed that many anti-social groups have infiltrated the Boko Haram.
“Political thugs, armed robbers, kidnappers, hired assassins and other anti social groups now parade as members of the sect. All things being equal if the cease fire agreement is sealed all the groups would fizzle out.”
