Boko Haram and the
federal government may have reached a cease-
fire deal, the Voice of Nigeria, VoA, quoted
President Goodluck Jonathan’s Private Secretary,
Alh. Hassan Tukur, as disclosing.
He spoke to the VoA in Saudi where the talks
which are being brokered by officials of Chad and
Cameroun are taking place.
The cease-fire is expected to result in the release
of the remaining 219 Chibok female students
abducted from their school more than five months
ago and indeed girls and women abducted from
other communities in the course of the five-year
deadly insurgency, said to have killed over 12,
000 people.
According to the international radio, a man calling
himself the Secretary-General of Boko Haram,
Danladi Ahmadu, told VOA on Thursday that
Chibok girls “in good condition and unharmed.”
The report said that Boko Haram did not
elaborate on the conditions under which the girls
would be freed and that authorities on Saudi
Arabia were not involved in the negotiations.
