Several people have been killed in two attacks by Nigerian militants just a day after the government announced a ceasefire with Boko Haram militants to enable the release of 200 abducted girls reports Reuters.
No militant group has claimed responsibility for the attacks and the government is doubtful of whether Boko Haram are responsible for the attacks or whether they are the works of several other criminal groups exploiting the instability in the region.
At least 9 people were left dead as militants ransacked houses and stormed through the villages of Dzur and Abadam on Friday night and Saturday morning.
When asked if Boko Haram were responsible for the attacks, the government spokesperson said,
“the Boko Haram people have also said that some attacks are not undertaken by them.”
The ceasefire talks between the government and Boko Haram are expected to go ahead as planned in Chad next week.
