“National Agency for Education, Rehabilitation, De-radicalisation and Integration of Repentant Insurgents in Nigeria 2020, SB. 340.” BokoHaram Senate Amnesty Terrorist
for ‘repentant’ Boko Haram terrorists irrespective of their wanton destruction of lives and property.
It was learnt that proponents of this legislation believe that the Boko Haram suspects, who had inflicted unprecedented torture on and killed thousands of innocent citizens, particularly in the northern part of the country, should be made to enjoy what beneficiaries of the Presidential Amnesty for Niger Delta militants have been enjoying.
• to enable government gain greater understanding of the insurgents and enable the government to address the immediate concerns of violence and study the needs of de-radicalization effort to improve the process of de-radicalization; and “About 1.7 million people have been displaced in Borno alone. The value of the damage is about $9.6 billion in Borno alone. About 60,000 children are orphaned. Only God knows how many children are out of school, have no access to water, food and means of livelihood. The humanitarian crisis that is coming after the war may be more dangerous than the war itself. The insurgency is going into its 10th year.
Nwachukwu explained: “In 2016, the Federal Government initiated Operation Safe Corridor to de-radicalise repentant members of Boko Haram. It is not anything that is done haphazardly. The target audience are not those captured in combat. No! Both groups expressed shock over the proposal, saying whosoever had proposed such a bill to grant amnesty for criminals who killed, maimed, raped and destroyed innocent peoples lives and property, and threw the country into jeopardy must be thoroughly investigated and probably marked as enemies of the state.
Col. Tony Nyiam wondered why the Boko Haram suspects would be the major concern of the senators “when the victims of their actions and deeds are still suffering and thousands are dead.” “Let us form the HURIWA caution the section of the national legislators who are actively conniving with armed terrorists to introduce a satanic legislation that will overlook the mind-boggling crimes of genocides committed by terrorists and the killings of over 30,000 innocent Nigerians in the last ten years with the view to appease terrorists even when the victims of terrorism are scattered in different internally displaced camps in Nigeria and are external refugees in so many nearby countries.
The human rights group urged the government to engage in a law-based war by enforcing anti-terrorism laws, stressing that section 1A of the Terrorism Prevention Act empowers “the law enforcement agencies” to “enforce all laws and regulations on counter-terrorism in Nigeria”.
