A leader of the Abuja Chibok community, Dr. Dauda Iliya expressed doubt about the reported truce between the federal government and Boko Haram.
He questions the truthfulness of the truce when since it was announced on Friday, Boko Haram has been attacking villages in Borno.
“My heart tells me to keep my fingers crossed and be prayerful, but my head tells me to just wave it away and to dismiss it like I know the government to tell bull stories.
“I simply thinking the government is playing Nigerians for two reasons. One, I have received reports that two very well known villages in southern Borno, one in Hawul in the village of shaffa was attacked and many people killed over the weekend between Friday when the attack was made and Saturday.
“Two, the second villge called Lassa in Askira/Gwuba Local Government was also attacked between Friday night and Saturday and also in northern Borno in I think, Kana Local government. With this, why will Boko Haram be attacking villages, killing people and destroying houses if indeed their was a truce that is number one.
“Why should the government be the one announcing the truce, when it is the government and its army that is under attack, I think it is the people attacking that should be announcing any kind of truce,” Iliya stated.
Leader of the #BringBackOurGirls advocacy group, Aisha Yusufu also added, “we are hopeful, waiting and really anxious, we are surprised that a ceasefire has supposedly been reached and people are still been killed. Who are they having this ceasefire with if the Boko Haram doesn’t even know that there is any ceasefire going on.
“For me I don’t want to make allegations. All I want to say is that we Nigerians what we want from the government is the truth, nothing but the truth. It is high time that the Nigerian government comes out and begin to tell the people the truth no matter how bitter. It is and then we know what to do.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
