Militant Islamist group Boko Haram has denied claims by Nigeria's government that it has agreed to a ceasefire.
In a video, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau also said that more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls had converted to Islam and been married off.
Nigeria's army announced a ceasefire with the militants on 17 October and said the girls would be released.
The Islamist group has been fighting an insurgency since 2009, with some 2,000 civilians reportedly killed this year.
