The arrest, the other day, of a “repentant Boko Haram fighter,” Ba’ana Bdiya, over a bomb attack on Nigerian soldiers that led to the deaths of at least three soldiers, is yet another strong indication that the federal government’s safe corridor programme, and its attendant rehabilitation of captured or surrendered terrorists, is wrong headed and unlikely to aid in ending the war against terror.
So far, the intelligence information shared by Manci led to the ambush and killing of many Nigerian soldiers, including three soldiers on the outskirts of Banki town, Borno State where many other people were severely injured in February of this year, Manci also passed information to his Boko Haram fighter-colleagues that led to the successful ambushing and killing of Nigerian soldiers at Ngauri.
President Buhari and the incoming government should scrap the amnesty policy for the so-called Boko Haram fighters. The de-radicalization of Boko Haram fighters is hardly working in Nigeria for lack of facilities for their re-radicalization and rehabilitation. The policy has been unduly abused and politicized. Above all, it has not stemmed the tide of Boko Haram killings and atrocities in Nigeria. Therefore, the policy should be jettisoned.
