Boko Haram Begs For Forgiveness, As They Sign Ceasefire Deal.

**“we are seeking forgiveness from the people over the number of people killed in the
country".
**the Islamist deny killing the students of a
secondary school in Yobe state.

I appeal to those who lost their loved ones to
our activities to forgive us and on our side we have forgiven all those who committed atrocities against us. I want to state clearly that we have no hands in the unfortunate attack on the secondary school (Government Secondary
School, Mamudo, Yobe State).”

With these words, Imam Muhammadu Marwana, an influential member of the Abubakar Shekau-
led Boko Haram sect, yesterday, confirmed a
ceasefire agreement with the Federal Government to end their deadly activities across
most states of Northern Nigeria, which have claimed about 4,000 lives and destroyed
properties worth billions of Naira since 2009.

The agreement came exactly 82 days after the Federal Government raised a 25-man committee to work out modalities for granting the amnesty to the sect.
Indeed, the Federal Government, yesterday,
said that it had signed a ceasefire agreement with the militant group. Minister of Special
Duties and Chairman of the Peace and Dialogue
Committee in the North, Alhaji Tanimu Turaki
announced the ceasefire agreement on the Hausa
service of Radio France International monitored
in Kano
The announcement came on the eve of the Muslim Holy month of Ramadan expected to commence today throughout the world and also coincided with a vehement denial by the insurgents that they had no hands in the murder of 30 boarding students of a secondary school in Yobe weekend.
Although details of the peace deal were scanty,
Turaki who spoke in Hausa further said that the Boko Haram insurgents had agreed to lay down their arms.
“We have sat down and agreed that Jama’atu
Ahlul Sunnah Lidda’awati wal Jihad, known as Boko Haram will lay down their arms as part of the agreement so as to end the insurgency.
Government agreed with ceasefire and will look
into ways to ensure that the troops relax their
activities till the final take off of the ceasefire,” Turaki told his interviewers.

Confirming the truce, Imam Muhammadu Marwana said: “This ceasefire, in sha’Allahu,
from the time I am talking to you (Radio France Hausa Service) we have ceasefire because of the discussion held so as to have peace over this
struggle.”
The Boko Haram stalwart added that “we are seeking forgiveness from the people over the number of people killed in the country.
Sounding apologetic during the Radio news,
Imam Marwana declared that “I appeal to those
who lost their loved ones to our activities to forgive us and on our side we have forgiven all
those who committed atrocities against us”
He added that “I want to state clearly that we
have no hands in the unfortunate attack on the secondary school.”
