Boko Haram put the final nail in the coffin to any possible ceasefire between the terror organization and the Nigerian government.
Abubakar Shekau, the terror group's leader, has denied the release of the 200 Nigerian school girls kidnapped in April in a new video message. He also denied the agreement of the proposed ceasefire made earlier this month.
"The issue of the girls is long forgotten because I have long ago married them off," he said. "In this war, there is no going back."
Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, the head of the Nigerian Military, announced the ceasefire on Oct. 17. The agreement reportedly included the release of the 219 schoolgirls kidnapped from their school in Chibok on April 14 and an end to the five years of violence that have wreaked havoc on the country's northeast, according to Reuters.
Boko Haram already broke the terms two weeks after the ceasefire when the group struck again and kidnapped another 25 Nigerian girls from a rural town in the north. The terrorists also continue their brazen attacks.
The Nigerian government negotiatiated with a man named Danladi Ahmadu, who claimed to be the secretary-general of Boko Haram, according to Reuters. Shekau laughed off these reported negotiations in the video.
"We don't know that liar and fake Danladi Ahmadu, we never met this liar with his character as he is claiming," said Shekau.
"We have nothing to do with him, and our war is not ending. Expect more - what you are seeing is just a little effort. There is no retreat in this Jihad; Allah is with us, and we are succeeding."
Boko Haram also launched an attack on Vintim, the hometown of Badeh, on Oct. 30, according to The Telegraph. The town, fearing an attack, set up 4,500 troop to stand guard, but they were overtaken by the 300 Boko Haram fighters.
They burned down Badeh's home, although he and the family were not in the area at the time of the attack. They did capture the son of the regional leader Emir of Mubi and immediately killed him on site.
