Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau disowns alleged ceasefire

Latest video released by Boko Haram says the group is not having any dialogue with Nigerian government. The group described as fraud and lies, the dialogue said to be on- going between government and Imam Abdulazeez who claims to be representing Boko Haram.

In the video, leader of Boko Haram Imam Abubakar Shekau also said that his group has not suspended attacks in Nigeria and would do no such thing in the nearest future. Shekau said he does not know anyone with the name Imam Abdulazeez among officials of his organization.

"It is a lie, there is nothing like ceasefire or dialogue going on with government,” he says. “We have never sat in any meeting for dialogue, we have not and it is not true that we are talking with Nigerian government. We don't know the Imam Abdulazeez, he is not speaking on our behalf like he claimed. He is not one of us, I don't know him.

Shekau said that dialogues have procedures and that Islam has specific on how such discussions should be followed. “There are procedures of dialogue as it is spelled out in Islam, they are busy arresting our people, small boys and women and so they are not serious with any dialogue and we are also not interested in any talking with them. We are only doing God's work and serving Him and not men."

According to him, the Nigerian government has been going about arresting his members as well as their wives and children while labeling them as armed robbers, vowing that his group will continue to fight and attack specific interests in a war he said was for God.
