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.
