Nigeria's presidency says it has agreed a ceasefire with militants Boko Haram which would see the return of 219 kidnapped girls. The group kidnapped more than 200 girls at gunpoint from a school in Chibok, northeastern Nigeria, on April 14. Some of the girls managed to escape from the group in the aftermath of their kidnap or during fighting among militants, but the vast majority were still missing. Air Marshal Alex Badeh, chief of defence staff, said: "A ceasefire agreement has been concluded between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal Jihad (Boko Haram).
