Text: According to a recent report by TNH, the Nigerian government and JAS (Boko Haram) struck a peace deal following the Ngoshe attack which has been in effect since June and is likely to be extended further, the deal was paired with a ransom of $3.7 million to the group in exchange of 360 hostages JAS had taken from Ngoshe. This means several things including that the Nigerian army is in fact in contact with JAS, and that both the army and JAS benefitted from this ceasefire to focus on their common enemy ISWAP during these past few months, the latter seeing its activity decline during that same time. It also raises questions on whether other deals were negotiated between the two previously, as was speculated during the last major war between ISWAP and JAS in late 2025 when the Nigerian Air Force was seemingly providing air support to JAS.
