Latest on the Ceasefire deal: Boko Haram to release abducted Chibok girls by Monday

Following the ceasefire deal reached between the Nigerian government and the Boko Haram sect, there are indications that the 218 schoolgirls abducted six months ago in Chibok, may be released on Monday.

DailyPost reports that the Federal Government, through the Nigerian military, had on Friday announced that it had agreed to a ceasefire agreement with the violent sect and that the Chibok girls would soon be released.

Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, made this announcement on Friday.
“A ceasefire agreement has been concluded between the Federal Government and the Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal Jihad (Boko Haram)”, the army boss had said.

Also corroborating the report, a certain Danladi Ahmadu, who claims to be the Secretary-General of Boko Haram, told VOA’s Hausa-language service that the abducted girls would be released on Monday in Chad.

The girls are alive and “in good condition and unharmed”, Ahmadu said.

However, some Nigerians are of the opinion that the Chibok abduction was a scam coined to rubbish the government of President Jonathan.
Leader of the now rested Niger Delta Volunteer Force, Asiri Dokubo had during a protest declared that the Chibok saga was a scam and should be disregarded.

“Dis CHIBOK School no get school uniform…so na mufti dem dey wear snap passport for SSCE? PASS THE MESSAGE….NO GIRLS ARE MISSING….CHIBOK IS A SCAM”, Dokubo once said.
