Boko Haram, the dreaded Islamic sect that has been terrorizing some states in Northern Nigeria on Monday agreed to lay down their arms for peace to prevail after an agreement was reached in a closed door meeting of members of the group also called the Jama’atul Ahalis Sunna Lida’awati Wal with the Borno state Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, other top government officials and religious leaders from the state.

The acclaimed Commander in-charge of North and Central Borno, Sheikh Abu Mohammad Abdulazeez Ibn Idris, while briefing journalists after the meeting that lasted for hours said that after due consultation with the leader of the sect, Shiekh Abubakar Shekau, as well as intervention and pleading from respectful individuals/groups in the state, they have all come to terms and agreed to lay down their arms.

The group however insisted that, Government should immediately and unconditionally release all their members from custody.

It also demanded that their places of worship be rebuilt, adding that the government compensate them, among other demands.

No to cease fire, they should be crushed!

direct impact of gej and Nigeria army involvement in northern mali. now their headquarters in northern Mali is on fire and weapons are no longer coming in as before and all resources is been mobiled to fight the govt troops there ,coupled with the fact that the sss and Nigeria army is closing down on the remnants in Nigeria ,they are only trying to buy time ,terrorist should never be trusted

Please no negotiation at this point. They (boko haram) will only regroup to become more stronger.

KILL EVERY LAST ONE!!! IT'S ALL OR NONE!!

This is all part of the game plan; as 2015 is fast approaching they would declare a cease fire and hope gullible Nigerians especially Southerners would as usual forget and vote in a Northerner for ' peace' to reign. We are no fools as the so called Boko haram is being sponsored by northern elites to destabilize the present govt and make it seem it effective in the eyes of Nigerians.
