Jama’atu Ahlussunah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad, known notoriously as Boko Haram, has denied ever announcing a ceasefire.
On Wednesday
morning, residents of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, woke up to
see posters around mosques and in different parts of the city carrying
messages from the leader of Boko Haram, Imam Abubakar Shekau which
denied ever delegating anybody to discuss with the Borno State
government on cease fire.
BBC Hausa service in Abuja reported that residents of Maiduguri received some leaflets which were shared on Tuesday evening.
But the Borno State commissioner of information, Inuwa Buwala, said that he was not aware of it even as he promised to investigate the incident.
It would be recalled that Borno State government earlier said it had
reached a memorandum of understanding of a ceasefire with the person
that claimed to be Boko Haram spokesman.
Boko Haram has always passed its messages through posters and the media.
