Boko
Haram denied that they had agreed to a ceasefire in a new video obtained on
Friday by AFP, describing the Nigerian government claims as a lie and
apparently ruling out future talks.
The
group’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, also claimed the 219 schoolgirls kidnapped
from the remote northeast town of Chibok, in Borno state, in April had
converted to Islam and been married off.
In
addition, Shekau said the Islamists were holding a German national, who was
kidnapped in Adamawa state, also northeast Nigeria, in July.
