The second commander of Boko Haram, Sheik Abu
Mohammed Ibn Abdulazeez, sent a statement to journalists in Maiduguri yesterday
Monday January 28th, saying their group has agreed to a ceasefire after talks
with the Borno government.
Ibn Abdulazeez said he had "the consent and
approval of our leader Abubakar Shekau and I call on all members to stop
hostilities".
The commander said their group was serious about the
ceasefire, and security agencies are free to arrest any of their members that
violates it once the ceasefire has been fine tuned.
“We are going to comply with the cease- fire order
and by the time we are done with that, then government security agencies can go
ahead to arrest whoever they find carrying arms or killing under our name,” he
said.
