Despite several raids considered as violation of the alleged ceasefire agreement between the Nigerian authorities and Boko Haram, the Federal Government insisted that the negotiations with the sect regarding Chibok girls release were ongoing.

It was made known yesterday, October 28, by Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Mohammed Adoke, who spoke with journalists after the closed-door meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan, The Nation reports.

According to him, during the meeting, attended by top political and security figures, the security chiefs disclosed to Jonathan the status of talks on the ceasefire agreement.

Vanduard adds that Adoke reinstated commitment of the authorities to ensure the return of more than 200 missing Chibok girls, saying that the recent breach of agreement would not stop the government from doing everything possible to reunite the girls with their families.

The alleged peace deal dating back to October 17 stipulated for the ceasefire and the release of children, abducted in April. It was gathered that the girls would be freed on October 20 in Chad. However that Monday Chibok parents did not have their daughters returned, neither did they have them back on the next Monday.

Moreover, the post-agreement week was followed by several ghastly raids carried out by suspected Boko Haram members.

Meanwhile Nigerian journalist and activist Ahmad Salkida, believed to be having connections with the sect, yesterday claimed that “no talks were ongoing” regarding Chibok students.

Chibok parents however never stop believing. Having suffered greatly for more than 6 months, they pray to God for their children’s return.
