Deadly Attacks Still Ongoing Even After Ceasefire Agreement

Boko Haram terrorists killed dozens of people in five fresh attacks on Nigerian villages that occurred after the government announced a ceasefire to enable 200 abducted girls to be freed, security sources and witnesses said. The fresh attacks dashed hopes for an easing of the Northeast's violence irrespective of the pact for peace which is said to have been agreed and signed by members of the Boko Haram sect and the Federal Government, although officials remained confident they can negotiate the release of the girls whose abduction by the extremists in the remote North-eastern town of Chibok in April caused international shock and outrage. A presidency and another government source said they were aiming to do this by Tuesday. Source: Farsnews
