BIAFRA:Boko Haram, says no ‘ceasefire’ talks with FG, Here is Why we released Dapchi Girls

Boko Haram, says no ‘ceasefire’ talks with FG, Here is Why we released Dapchi Girls.
The group, in an audio recording said the girls were freed because of its allegiance to the leadership of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). In the recording, the faction’s head of Shura (highest decision body), Abu Bashir, urged its members to remain loyal to ISIL.
Boko Haram faction, Islamic State West Africa Provence (ISWAP), has given the reason it released the girls kidnapped from the Government Girls’ Technical College, Dapchi in Yobe State.                     
The Federal Government, on 25 March, announced a five-day ceasefire for the return of the girls. Information Minister, Mr. Lai Mohammed, in a statement, said: “The week-long ceasefire is besides ongoing broader negotiations for a permanent ceasefire with the insurgents.”
The minister said the insurgents were compelled to release the students and others because their capture was against government’s negotiations with the group.
The claim was, however, refuted by the Director- General of the Department of State Security Service (DSS), Mr. Lawan Daura. According to him, the Federal Government has never been in any ceasefire talks with Boko Haram.
Bashir said the group abducted the Dapchi school girls to force the release of some of its members in detention and get paid ransom.
However, added Bashir, as soon as it consulted ISIL leaders, it responded that the abduction, especially of Muslim girls “cast the group in bad light”, especially at a time it is struggling to win over Muslims in West Africa, including in Niger Republic, after it drifted from the Abubakar Shekau faction, which still holds some of the Chibok girls after four years of abduction.
Bashir said there are two categories of apostates. According to him, one category is made up of those not fighting ISIL, but assisting those fighting it. The kidnap of the Dapchi schoolgirls, according to ISIL, was carried out by the first category. ISWAP explained that those who fight against it like the Civilian Joint Task Force, will be killed.
