Nigerian military denies secret ceasefire with Boko Haram faction

The Nigerian military has publicly denied reports of a secret ceasefire agreement with a Boko Haram faction led by Bakura Doro, contradicting a report from The New Humanitarian published nearly two months prior. The denial signals potential internal discord or a strategic shift in counterinsurgency posture, but the veracity of the original claim remains unconfirmed. This matters as it affects the credibility of peace efforts and the trajectory of the insurgency in northeastern Nigeria.
