Nigeria, Boko Haram reportedly agree secret three-month ceasefire

A reported secret three-month ceasefire between Nigeria and Boko Haram follows the release of 360 villagers abducted in a recent attack in northeastern Nigeria. The truce is unconfirmed and details are scarce, but if genuine it would mark a significant shift in the long-running insurgency. The release of hostages suggests possible back-channel negotiations, though the durability of any deal remains uncertain.
