The Nigerian military says it is studying the video released Friday by Abubakar Shekau, the Boko Haram leader supposedly killed by security forces, where he dismissed claims of a ceasefire deal with the government and dashed hopes of the return of school girls abducted by his group since April.
In a statement Saturday, the spokesperson of the Defence Headquarters, Chris Olukolade, a Major General, said the military would make its position on the video known after a thorough review.
“The content of the video purportedly released by terrorist on Friday is being studied. Further information on subsequent position on the issues involved will be released as appropriate in due course,” Mr. Olukolade said.
He added, “The military will continue to accord due recognition to any ongoing mediatory efforts towards bringing our girls home and terminating the insecurity in parts of the country.
“Citizens are assured that the military and security agencies remain committed and optimistic for positive outcome of ongoing operations.” ...PremiumTimes
