EXPOSED: How Chadian President Fooled Nigerian Govt Over Fake BH Ceasefire Deal

On October 16, the Nigerian Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshall Alex Badeh announced a cease fire between the Nigerian government and the terrorist group Boko Haram which has in the past 5 years killed over 10,000 people mostly in the North Eastern part of Nigeria.

Most Nigerians were skeptical of the said agreement. But, Badeh appeared to be certain and said he had ordered his commanders on the ground to cease fire in line with the said agreement with the dreaded terrorist group. Badeh’s announcement followed a similar announcement by Danladi Ahmadu on Voice of America.

Ahmadu described himself as a general secretary of Boko Haram.
Following the said cease fire, there was news that the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls, whose predicament had been in the fore-front of campaigns against terrorism and against the government’s handling of the insurgency, were soon to be released in line with the new path towards peace.
But, instead of calm, the terrorist group intensified its assault on towns and villages in the North East, hoisting its flag and even overrunning the home town of Badeh in Adamawa.

The man in the centre of the supposed ceasefire is Idriss Deby, the president of Chad a former military general, Deby has ruled Chad for 24 years. It now turns out that the Chadian president sold a dummy to the Nigerian government as reports say the Deby is now unreachable to Nigerian government officials and it is unclear if he was fooled by the people who approached him with the cease fire agreement or he was in league with Boko Haram all along.

According to our sources in the Federal Government who are in the know concerning the said ceasefire agreement, the Chadian president approached President Goodluck Jonathan with a request from a man called Danladi Ahmadu who claimed to be Boko Haram’s general secretary. The Chadian president confirmed the authenticity of the contact he had and the genuineness of the intentions of the terrorist group to end hostilities. President Jonathan delegated his Principal Secretary Awwal Tukur to represent the federal government at the negotiation table.

Soon after, the terrorist group has produced a video in which some militants are seen from a long shot, one of them claiming to be Abubakar Shekau and a accompanying voice-over denying the reported ceasefire and saying that Ahmadu is an infidel and has no relationship with Boko Haram.
“Nigerian government officials no longer have access to Déby who is now said to be sick. It appears he set us up to drop our guard and allow Boko Haram to gain ground,”the official said.

Last week, a Nigerian journalist who had linked with Boko Haram Ahmad Salkida, had on a Twitter interview warned the government over the fathom cease fire agreement giving some insight into the thinking of the group. He said that the ceasefire was “shadows and bubbles” and said that the said Boko Haram secretary general was a fraud and considered an infidel by the terrorist group.

Another Nigerian government official speaking with The Cable said,“The period of the phantom negotiations gave the terror group time to regroup, reinforce and restrategise, which is the intent of Déby for asking the Nigerian government to negotiate a ceasefire with Boko Haram,”the source said. “As soon as Nigeria began to make a lot of gains in the war against Boko Haram, owing to the efforts of the military and President Goodluck Jonathan who has been discussing with regional leaders to halt the insurgency, and at a time the commanders of the sect were being rounded up, that was when the Chadian president approached the Nigerian government asking that it mediates between the parties in the conflict
