udatso: Emir of Anka in Zamfara State, Alhaji
Attahiru Ahmad, has asked President
Goodluck Jonathan not to grant amnesty to
members of the Islamist sect, Boko Haram.
His call is contrary to the position of the
Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar lll, who
last week, urged the President to grant
members of the sect amnesty.
However, the Emir of Anka at a workshop
on peace building and conflict
management for sustainable development,
organised by the National Emergency
Management Agency on Wednesday in
Kaduna, said “amnesty is for people you
can identify”.
He added, “Where were our leaders when
members of Boko Haram were going to
receive trainings outside the country. Let
us check ourselves, if there must be justice,
we must go back to the basics.”
He also blamed the current security
challenges on the elite and politicians.
Ahmad said, “From experience, I have
come to realise that whenever you have
crisis and a proper investigation is carried
out, you always find the involvement of
these two classes. Within my domain, a sad
experience occurred sometimes ago when
an Igbo man, who owned a shop, was
attacked and his shop burnt because his
son was said to have torn a copy of the
Quran. But upon investigation, I found out
that a native of Anka, who was also in the
same business with the Igbo man,
deliberately roped-in the Igbo family.
“He took a piece of paper with an Islamic
inscription on it and tore it into pieces in
front of the Igbo man’s shop and then
raised the alarm calling on all Muslims
faithful to come and see a copy of the
Quran torn into pieces by the son of the
Igbo trader. The crowd grew angry and set
the house and the shop of the Igbo man
ablaze immediately. You can see that this
native of Anka did this malicious act purely
for personal interest and not religion. And
that is how it is with the elite and the
politicians”.
He added, “As a traditional ruler, who lives
with the people, I have come to a
conclusion that if the common man is left
alone, there is going to be peace in the
land. But any place you find crisis, just look
around, you must find the involvement of
these two classes – the elite and the
politicians.”

gregg2: Mods, this qualifies for homepage.
Grant amnesty to Boko Haram and watch OPC, MASSOB etc start their own agitation.

SEE an illiterate Emir looking for cheap popularity. Shut up nobody will love you. instead the boko boys will know how to handle you.

PointB:

Truth is powerful; you cannot contain it for too long. I am sure this is the same situation that befell Akuluka, Mr. Gideon Akuluka, an Igbo businessman, who was dragged out from prison and beheaded for a crime he never committed. Rumours has it that the present Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was complicit in the horrendous crime.


Anyway, let's thank the Emir for siding with the truth. The solution to the boko haram crisis does not lie in amnesty. We should focus more on prevention of crime. Which better way to achieve this other than justice, fairness and equity.

Members and sponsor of the boko haram should be fished out and severely punished for their crimes; they must never be rewarded for causing untold hardship to several families, and the society at large. Future occurrence can only be deterred by strong punitive measure. Nigeria is changing; and Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan should stay course and never waver!

No to amnesty for cold blooded murderers of fellow countrymen; no to amnesty for terrorists!
