A Nigerian journalist, who have been involved in several negotiations with extremist sect, Boko Haram, have expressed doubt over reports Friday that the Nigerian military and Boko Haram agreed a ceasefire.
The Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh, an Air Chief Marshal, announced the ceasefire deal Friday and ordered all field officers to comply with the agreement.
Reports say the deal was reached at a meeting involving the Principal Secretary to the President Goodluck Jonathan, Hassana Tukur, a representative of Boko Haram, Danladi Ahmadu, and a representative of the Chadian government.
The reports also said the deal was reached in Ndjamena, the capital of Chad republic.
Journalist, Ahmad Salkida, is known for his access to the Boko Haram group.
Mr. Salkida expressed doubts about the deal with Boko Haram on twitter.

Stupid, hungry aboki that's looking for fame
ReplyDeleteWhere is this Bastard Terrorist,can't govt get dis idiot arrested ? What are they waiting to arrest dis Muslim Pig who hav been part of Terrorism in dis country.
ReplyDeleteI am afraid, this journalist is very correct. Those who engage in these so called negotiations with the sect fail to understand the nature and magnitude of the problem at hand.
ReplyDeleteThe girls may be released but the fighting will not stop. The plain and simple reason is that the Boko haram fighters really believe that they are fighting for Allah. And faith based wars don't just end like that!
It is called a TRUCE go and use your dictionary
ReplyDeleteIs there anything you are benefiting in this so call problem Salkida? . If not why is your own reactions always negative to all efforts of the government?. Do you think if nigerian government were to be heavyweight like UK government here they wouldn't have call for your extradition since? .
ReplyDeletethis man is worst than boko haram. I think he is geting his livelihood from the conflict.
