The Christian Association of Nigeria
President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, on
Wednesday dismissed the ceasefire deal
between the Federal Government and the
Boko Haram leadership.
Oritsejafor, who spoke on the sidelines of
the ninth National Assembly of CAN, noted
that Boko Haram leadership could not be
taken seriously because the group had
been factionalised.
The Chairman of the Presidential Committee
on Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution of
Secruity Challenges in the North, Mr. Kabiru
Turaki (SAN), had on Monday announced
the ceasefire deal.
However, responding to reporters'
questions on Wednesday, the CAN
President said, "Which Boko Haram? There
have been all manner of people that claim
to be Boko Haram. Now there are two
groups, the Shekau group and Ansaru
group, have you heard from them?
"Even if one person says, I want peace, I
drop my weapons, we will be happy, but I
still ask: which Boko Haram because we
have seen situations in the past where
they told us that some people wanted truce
and
the next day we saw people being
killed."
Oritsejafor, who urged religious
fundamentalists to be cautions, also
promised to use the fresh mandate given
to him by the Christian union to pursue
peace in the country.
