Update from: Newspremise

Borno state governor prof. Babagana Zulum has said that accepting Boko Haram has the risk of seriously offending the feelings of victims with the potential of civil rebellion, Newspremises reports.

Governor Zulum made the disclosure while addressing military officers and community leaders in Bama and Gwoza on Monday, August 16, 2021.

The governor added that, it would be difficult for someone to accept killers of his/her loved ones.

He however, noted if surrendering Boko Haram insurgents are not accepted, it could lead to “an endless war”.

“Accepting Boko Haram has the risk of seriously offending the feelings of victims with the potential of civil rebellion.

“No one would find it easy to accept killers of his or her parents, children and other loved ones. In the last 12 years, we have been in this war, and we have lost thousands of fellow citizens,” he said.


Furthermore, Zulum said his government will engage in high-level consultations, including with victims of crimes perpetrated by the insurgents to “come up with a workable framework.”

“We (in Borno) are in a very difficult situation over the ongoing surrender by insurgents.

“We have to critically look between two extreme conditions and decide our future.

“We have to choose between an endless war or to cautiously accept the surrendered terrorists which is really painful and difficult for anyone that has lost loved ones, difficult for all of us and even for the military whose colleagues have died and for volunteers.

“No one would find it easy to accept killers of his or her parents, children and other loved ones.

“In the last 12 years we have been in this war, and we have lost thousands of fellow citizens. We don’t know the whereabout of thousands of others, we don’t know whether they are alive or dead.

“In these 12 years, millions have been made homeless and many wealthy farmers, transporters and others have been rendered poor.

“In these years, we were able to cultivate maybe around 3% of the arable land, and as a result our people became dependent on food aid amid donor fatigue and potential food insecurity, infact the repercussions of the Boko Haram crisis are enormous and as someone who has been involved with assessment of the impacts and rebuilding efforts in the last seven years, I am in position to know the endless negative impact the Boko Haram has made in Borno,” he added.

Hell no !!!!!!!!!!!!

Accept what !!!! Dis terrorists should be killed immediately via firing squad

Southern Nigeria should hasten up and separate from this terrorists

This is a time bomb

Nigeria should learn from Afghanistan

Hmmm

They should help them get new ideal of work..

Baawaa:
Nigeria should learn from Afghanistan

yes ooo

How can I accept someone who kills my relatives just like that? The most painful part is how the government is taking care of those idi*ots instead of sending them where they belong.

They should be moved to sambisa forest and create another village for them there, I'm sure thier formal boss (iswap/bokoharam) will not harm them
