I guess they want to get information from them. If this was how Obama also arrested Osama and pampered him,I think the world will be a better place. I pray God will open d eyes of the youths. We are too dull

A terrorist cannot even repent. I don't know how Buhari's govt came up with that junk. How can you kill thousands of people and wake up one morning to say you have repented. How the phuck do they even arrest these terrorists? Are the soldiers not meant to attack terrorists and kill them all. How do you go to the terrorist hide out in the jungle and instead of bombing them to pieces, you arrest them and give them amnesty because they lie to you that they were forced into terrorism? When terrorists ambush our soldiers, they don't show mercy, they kill them brutally. So why should SOLDIERS be arresting terrorists instead of killing them? That's why the whole thing is highly suspicious.

To err is human to forgive is divine,
Amnesty to Niger Delta militants brought about the needed peace to the Ijaw people.
Amnesty to Biafra militia after the civil war brought about the needed peace in the south east .
Why should Kanuri people be denied such a peace deal ?. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander, for they all committed the same offence of carrying arms against Federal Republic of Nigeria.

dear mumu, Niger delta militants had a cause they were fighting for..
can you please tell us what your kanuri brethren are fighting for?

This is just an emotional reaction rather than a rational one. Govt doesn't have the resources to try all the repentant bh boys nor the space to lock them up in prison. Govt also can't shoot them dead cos that will be illegal

So you support the current policy of forgiving them and reintegrating the Boko Haram guys back into the society?

Mr friend geerout of my mentions..cominh here like you know anything, but your ignorant

This very move by the Buhari led government is indeed the maximum height of foolishness, gross misconduct and an apogee of gross incompetency. What nonsense! Who told them that those murderous sadist would ever feel remorseful, let alone repent? Damn! May God give you all sense.

This is not an excuse. The militants did not bomb or kill people. The militants bombed pipelines. When they got the amnesty, they stopped. The islamic boko haram bast.ards and fulani herdsmen terrorists are killing people for no reason. They are invading peoples communities and killing and taking over these communities and the govt is watching and encouraging them with amnesty. Fulani herdsmen have claimed lands in benue and then apologise and say they want to pay compensation and the govt just looks away. Why not send them parking and back to wherever they came from?

Go read the report that proposed amnesty again. Except you are trying to compare the less number of lives due to militancy to the outrageous number of lives lost to Boko Haram. Most importantly, one live matters so, it was wrong on all grounds but I understand it was a Disarmament, Demobilization, and Remobilization (DDR) project.

This one also, is a DDR. We will continue to use this approach and thereby raise more militancy groups.

You only get angry and irrational when you know you are empty. Counter my comments with superior arguments or get out of nairaland.

Whenever Yar'Adua granted Amnesty to the militant groups, all he did was create an avenue for madness like this. We as a country/people aren't ready yet.

The difference is Yaradua's worked.

BH are an ideologically possessed group you can't reason with. Something this government should have realized after trying by now.

Buhari is granting amnesty to Boko haram insurgents through the back door. Was this amnesty program agreed upon by Nigerians and passed into law by our lawmakers? I mean, is amnesty for boko haram constitutional?

I could remember Buhari in 2014, or thereabout, arguing that if the Niger Delta militants could be given amnesty why should boko haram insurgents not be given amnesty too?

With all the killing of multitude of Nigerian troops fighting insurgency, Buhari is more concerned about his religion.....Religious bigot.

Militants were fighting for resource control or maybe development of their region where the oil comes from.

What are boko haram and herdsmen fighting for? Boko haram and fulani herdsmen do not deserve any amnesty.

A clear indication of the foundation and support from this gov't for the age-long terrorism in our nation.

May their sponsors perish with them in natural disasters made by the finger of God

This really is the issue. Not thinking things through fundamentally. It doesn't truly work whatever way it is. Both had similar ideology (control of whatever form) and none should be excused. The sole aim for Amnesty was just to ensure we maximized crude oil production and raise revenues for some to steal and not necessarily rehabilitation of f the militants. Same is this one as most times, they are as idle as they were before now and may have to resort back to their old ways.

Your words stink! So filled up prisons and inadequate resources is enough reason to vindicate these cold-blooded murderers? Don't be a schmuck!

Grow up kiddo
This is real world not fantasy!

Any body living in the bush fighting with the northern political party called Boko Haram while senators and their children are enjoying overseas, is not a hero but a big fool

chatinent:
The BH is political, and politics is nepotistic. You don't expect them to fight them; it's them them.

Just look at this guys,non-is far in complexion ihu

You guys should not be surprise tomorrow when those pampered boko harams stand to be voted for as the president of the country.. The country has fallen

So when a whole lot of Boko Haram surrendered didn't the federal government and the FBI of Nigeria ask for the whereabout of their headquarters and base so as to put an end to all this buhaha and to wipe away those who are not surrendering


At least they should snitch for their freedom if they really surrender

allthingsgood:
Hmmm

I agree on the surface. But u see the thing with asexual guerrilla war, it's that it's never ending. Like people are being forced into going bokoharam every single day, it's an endless cycle. So if fgn is to keep locking all the bh boys in prison we don't even have the space. Not to mention the limited resources to even try these guys in the first place.

It would be easier to just kill bh boys in sambisa, but once they surrender, the govt has a big problem. U cant kill your citizens who surrender during a war. And once u can't kill them, that means I have to try them in court. Then back to the same problem of no space in prison to put them. And that is after wasting years and money for the trial

So the best solution is reintegrate them into the same communities they have destroyed?! The same analogy should apply to arm robbers who also surrender.

Exactly. Boko Haram do not have a cause like Niger Deltan militants
