Boko Haram terrorists have reportedly beheaded 6 people in Borno state and killed another 14 in Taraba state despite a ceasefire the group reached with the Nigerian military on Friday, October 17

The ceasefire agreement reached between the Nigerian government and Boko Haram has again been broken by the group as terrorists are said to have beheaded six people along the Biu-Garkida Road in Borno State.

Suspected members of the sect also invaded Sondi village in the Wukari Local Government Area of Taraba State leaving at least 14 people dead, Punch reports.

The Executive Director of Stefanos Foundation, Mr. Mark Lipdo confirmed the beheading saying:

“Information says in spite of the ceasefire agreement with the insurgents, at about 12 and 1pm, six innocent civilians were held hands bound and slaughtered on the Biu-Garkida road of Borno State yesterday (Friday). "

"The bodies were left lying there for a long time on the spot, where the Emir of Gwoza was killed months ago.”

The Nigerian Defence Headquarters confirmed on Friday, October 17 that it had agreed to a ceasefire with the sect after the move was initially announced by Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh.

However, since then Boko Haram has also carried out attacks on Abadam village and Dzur, both also in Borno State, leaving at least 9 people dead.
