Boko Haram To Release All Chibokgirls On Monday

Finally, there are strong indications that the 218 schoolgirls abducted six months ago in Chibok, Borno State, by the violent Boko Haram sect may be released on Monday following a ceasefire agreement the sect negotiators reached with the Federal Government.

The Government, through the Nigerian military, had on Friday said that it had agreed to a ceasefire with the heartless terrorists group and that the Chibok girls would soon be released.

The deal was announced by the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh.

Nigerian military has struggled to defeat Boko Haram which began attack against Nigeria since 2009.

The President’s Principal Secretary, Hassan Tukur, told BBC Focus on Africa that an agreement to end the Boko Haram hostilities had been reached after talks with the violent group.

He said, “The Boko Haram members have assured us that they have the girls and that they will release them. I am cautiously optimistic.”

He said the agreement was reached after one month of negotiations in Saudi Arabia.

The negotiation was said to have been headed by the Chadian President Idriss Deby.

Tukur said Boko Haram announced a unilateral ceasefire on Thursday and the government had responded.

Tukur and Danladi Ahmadu, who calls himself the Secretary-General of Boko Haram, told VOA’s Hausa service that the abducted girls would be released on Monday in Chad.

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

President Goodluck Jonathan has faced strong criticism over a deteriorating security situation in Nigeria, with villages in the North-East Borno State inaccessible due to the threat from Boko Haram.

The group had demanded the release of detained extremists in exchange for the schoolgirls.

The Defence Headquarters have directed all commanders to stop offensive against the Boko Haram sect.

The Chief of Defence Staff said he had directed his officers to comply with the ceasefire agreement.

Badeh said, “A ceasefire agreement has been concluded between the Federal Government and the Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal Jihad (Boko Haram).”

Badeh added, “Without any prejudice to the outcome of our three days interactions, and the conclusions of this forum, I wish to inform this audience that a ceasefire agreement has been concluded between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Allul Sunna Li Daawa Waj Jihad.

“I have accordingly directed the service chiefs to ensure immediate compliance with this development in the field.”

“I already had a great song and thought… oh! I have a huge crush on Olamide, why don’t I get him on my song? So I made calls and he was ready to work with me. He’s just too good.”

Well the ‘Ghost Mode’ rapper isn’t the only male star the singer has her eyes on. Responding to whom she would also love to work with in the future, Chee told the radio host:

“Flavour… I mean, he [Flavour] can make beauty out of anything — musically.”

Chee further revealed the video for – No More – featuring Olamide drops at the end of this month and her debut yet-to-be-titled album is looking at a February 2015 release date.

Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau yesterday dismissed Nigerian military claims of his death in a new video obtained by AFP on Thursday and said the militants had implemented strict Islamic law in captured towns.
The new 36-minute video showed Shekau, in combat fatigues and black rubber boots, standing on the back of a pick-up truck and firing an anti-aircraft gun into the air.
Standing in front of three camouflaged vans and flanked by four heavily armed, masked fighters, he then speaks for 16 minutes in Arabic and the Hausa language widely spoken in northern Nigeria.
There was no indication of where or when the video was shot.
“Here I am, alive. I will only die the day Allah takes my breath,” Shekau said in the new video, adding that his group was “running our… Islamic caliphate” and administering sharia punishments.
“Nothing will kill me until my days are over… I’m still alive. Some people asked you if Shekau has two souls.
No, I have one soul, by Allah,” he said, apparently reading from a script.
“It is propaganda that is prevalent. I have one soul. I’m an Islamic student.
“I’m the Islamic student whose seminary you burnt… I’m not dead,” he added
Nigeria’s military however maintained the claim that Shekau was dead and that a man who had been posing as the group’s leader in the videos had been shot dead after fighting with troops in the far northeast.
