he Attorney General of the
Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr Mohammed Adoke, who addressed state
House Correspondents after a meeting of the National Security Council in Abuja
said the service chiefs briefed the council on the negotiation between them and
the sect.
He said the recent violation in no
way violated government’s resolve to ensure the safe release of the girls.
Yesterday’s meeting was attended by
the service chiefs; the Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr Suleiman
Abba; National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki; the Minister of Defence,
Aliyu Gusau; the Director General, State Security Service, Mr Ita Ekpeyong and
the Chief of Defence staff, Alex Badeh.
The Chief of Defence Staff, Air
Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, declined to speak to correspondents after the meeting
which lasted about two hours.
Badeh had a couple of weeks ago
announced that Boko Haram had agreed to a ceasfire and directed all field
commanders to respect it. Following suspicion that the group negotiating with
the government was not the right one, the self acclaimed Secretary General of
Boko Haram, Mallam Danladi Ahmadu, last Friday insisted that the group’s
ceasefire agreement with the Federal Government was on course.
He disclosed that the final meeting
between the group and the Federal Government to finally seal the ceasefire
agreement had been scheduled for last Monday in Ndjamena, Chad to be supervised
by the Chadian leader, Idris Derby. Ahmadu who spoke in the Hausa service of
the Voice of America, VOA, assured that an enlarged meeting of the group had
been fixed to prepare ground for last Monday meeting with the Federal Government
that would lead to eventual release of the girls to Chadian President, Idriss
Derby for onward presentation to the Nigerian government.
The high expectation was however
dashed as the girls were not released last Monday as promised by Boko Haram’s
representative
