Making the announcement on Friday, 24 October, 2014, was the self acclaimed secretary General of Boko Haram, Mallam Danladi Ahmadu, who also stated that the sect’s ceasefire agreement with the Federal Government is still on course.
Ahmadu, who spoke in the Hausa service of the Voice of America VOA, added that the final meeting between the Boko Haram and the Nigerian government has been scheduled for Monday in Ndjamana, Chad.
He informed that the meeting would be supervised by the Chadian leader, Idris Derby.

According to Ahmadu, the enlarged meeting has been fixed for the weekend to prepare ground for the Monday meeting with the Federal government.
Enlarged meeting of the group has been fixed for the weekend to prepare ground for the Monday meeting with the Federal government, affirming that the final case fire and the release of the Chibok girls are promises that will surely be fulfilled by the group.
On the latest kidnap of over 40 women and girls in the border villages between Adamawa and Borno states, Ahmadu stated that they are not aware of the attacks.
He informed that the group is already investigating the kidnap to determine the involvement of its members.
The Boko Haram scribe however, revealed that many anti-social groups have infiltrated the sect.
Ahmadu alleged that political thugs, armed robbers, kidnappers, hired assassins and other anti social groups now parade themselves as members of the sect.
It was reported few days ago that about 45 women and girls were abducted by unknown gunmen from Gartu in Michika, Adamawa state and Waga Mongoro, a border village between Madagali in Adamawa and Gwoza in Borno state.
Only for another report to surface late Thursday night that the women and girls have been released.
The Nigerian government is yet to confirm the purported release of the women as at the time of compiling this report.
The recent attacks alleged to be perpetrated by the Boko Haram have violated the ceasefire agreement the sect entered with the Nigerian military.
Meanwhile, there are reports that the Borno State government has trained medical personnel at the Chibok General Hospital, on psychological counseling in order to offer professional services to the abducted Chibok schoolgirls, when they are released.
The kidnapped school girls were abducted inside their school hostel in Chibok, Borno State on April 14, 2014.
