Jama'atu Ahlussunah Lidda'awati Wal Jihad, known notoriously as Boko Haram, has denied ever announcing a ceasefire.
On Wednesday morning, residents of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, woke up to see posters around mosques and in different parts of the city carrying messages from the leader of Boko Haram, Imam Abubakar Shekau which denied ever delegating anybody to discuss with the Borno State government on cease fire.
BBC Hausa service in Abuja reported that residents of Maiduguri received some leaflets which were shared on Tuesday evening.
But the Borno State commissioner of information, Inuwa Buwala, said that he was not aware of it even as he promised to investigate the incident.
It would be recalled that Borno State government earlier said it had reached a memorandum of understanding of a ceasefire with the person that claimed to be Boko Haram spokesman.
Boko Haram has always passed its messages through posters and the media.
