The northern based Islamist Boko Haram sect terrorising the north has again given two conditions under which to ceasefire from the bombings and killings in different parts of the north.

A source close to the sect told P.M.News in an exclusive chat that members of the group have agreed to a ceasefire but with a condition that all its members in detention be released first .

Secondly, the group wants the safety and security of all members whose names would be given to the Federal Government through Dr. Ahmed Datti, President of Supreme Council of Sharia of Nigeria, guaranteed.

The choice of Dr. Datti, according to the source, was informed by the fact that late slain leader, Mohammed Yusuf, served as a member of the Sharia Council under Datti’s leadership and so he could be trusted.

The source, who spoke to P.M.News under anonymity, also informed that the sect members have also agreed that once the two conditions are met, within four weeks they would put an end to the hostilities .

However, he hinted that members of the sect said failure to heed the conditions would amount to more hostilities.

He disclosed that the sect are now ready to dialogue with the Federal Government through Ahmed Datti, Shettima Monguno and other three northern leaders.

Firstly, i doubt most of the time because of there poor reporting.That said i also feel if true,government should be careful with such an arrangement.This people,even if they stop will still remain a treat to peace in the country.We all know how the ND militants continued and are still causing trouble around and made to feel above the law.They are pampered always to avoid any wahalah.so lets no set a wrong precedence to other law abiding and peaceful citizens abeg.
Better still if it is a quick fix.Let them(BH) come out fully and integrated into society with there details and profile kept in place.While my best option is FGN should look for a better way to cause rancor amongst the sect members and then FGN could have a fair deal to convert some to willing ally and expose the others.That way government can deal with the extreme wing of the sect.I feel even after the truce pockets of disgruntled sect members or fake BH criminals may still continue to fight.So it must be a total thing or else they could simply go back anytime they feel like it.

All Nigerians should rise up and fight this animals to the bitter end. no negotiations.

The only negotiations should be how they would all be executed: hanging, electric chair or beheading.
By the way the same thing goes for Mend.

I agree that government should dialogue with the group. But such dialogue should be with bullets and grenades!

Arosa: All Nigerians should rise up and fight this animals to the bitter end. no negotiations.
