The Nigerian military has denied allegations of a secret ceasefire agreement with Boko Haram terrorists, calling the claims "false and misleading." According to the military, terrorists and other extremist fighters will not be permitted any safe haven within Nigeria.
The report of the alleged ceasefire, which reportedly began in June and involved the release of 360 civilians abducted from Ngoshe village, originated from an investigation by The New Humanitarian. However, the military's Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Samaila Uba, stated that the number of terrorists killed and arrested contradicts claims of a secret ceasefire.
Uba emphasized that the military has successfully neutralised numerous terrorists and arrested many others, and that their operations have resulted in the recovery of livestock and the rescue of kidnapped victims. He assured the public that Boko Haram and other terrorist groups would not find safe havens anywhere in Nigeria.
