FG Spends ₦‎1.4 Billion On Rehabilitation Of Terrorists, Trial Centres by Thissystem(op): 4:09pm On Dec 29, 2024

The Federal Government has allocated approximately N1.4 billion for the rehabilitation of repentant terrorists and the establishment of terrorism trial centres over the past year and a half.

Following former President Muhammadu Buhari’s assent to the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Bill on May 12, 2022, the National Counter-Terrorism Centre (NCTC) was established.

In December 2022, the government announced plans to build two disarmament, deradicalisation, rehabilitation, and reintegration centres for former Boko Haram members and other terrorist factions.

Punch reports that Rear Admiral Yem Musa (retd.), the coordinator of the NCTC, confirmed to the House of Representatives Committee on National Security and Intelligence that N2.4bn would be allocated to these centres as part of the NCTC’s N3.8bn capital projects for 2023.

According to data from the GovSpend platform, between December 2022 and May 2024, the Ministry of Justice expended a total of N1.4bn on these rehabilitation centres and the renovation of facilities for terrorism trials.

This included N612m spent in March 2023 to renovate abandoned structures for terrorism trials and build dormitories for the rehabilitation of repentant terrorists under Operation Safe Corridor.

In 2024, an additional N179m was spent on similar projects, including the procurement of equipment to aid terrorism case prosecutions.

Meanwhile, the NCTC recently announced that it had secured 325 convictions during the Phase 5 and Phase 6 trials at the Kainji Detention Facility. Convictions ranged from the death penalty to life imprisonment, with sentences depending on the severity of the crimes committed.

Despite this, concerns have arisen over the secretive nature of these trials. Security experts and civil society organizations have raised questions about why such trials are conducted behind closed doors, given the gravity of the crimes involved.

Some argue that transparency is critical for public trust, while others believe that secrecy is necessary for security reasons. The government has yet to provide a clear explanation for this approach.

May thunder fire your Blokos.
How can terrorists who deserve to die by firing squad be pampered, rehabilitated and even granted scholarships with empowerment funds and integrated back to the society and then, go back to committing same, or even worse crimes?. More sadly is the fact that only a particular region enjoys this privilege. If it were people from southeast who committed same crime, they wouldn't be enjoying same privilege. They would have been killed by firing squad and their bodies thrown into the Pacific ocean

Just execute them. It will stop the jobless ones from joining such groups since they know they will be pampered after all. Why waste public funds on those who terrorise the public? Even after rehab some still relapse.

It's only in Nigeria political leaders believe terrorists repent even when terrorists themselves prove it again and again that they don't repent or relent. Nonsense.

This is the problem with Nigeria!

If such humongous amount is used to take care of those who took up arms against their own country for selfish and mundane reasons, how much is then spent on law-abiding citizens?

The unending insecurity challenges have provided a steady avenue for unimaginable corruption.

Insecurity seems to have come to stay!
