A former Chairman of Training and Operations at the Military Headquarters in Abuja, Brigadier Gen. John Sura (retd.), on Friday, advised the Federal Government to deploy the over 1,000 repentant Boko Haram terrorists to the farm.
According to him, they should be used to cultivate agricultural products that they deprived the Internally Displaced Persons and other Nigerians to produce.Sura, who described the repentant terrorists as prisoners of war, argued that there should be a modification to the Geneva Convention which granted them some privileges such as protection against any act of violence as well as against intimidation, insults and public curiosity among others.
He stressed that they should rather be treated as persons serving prison terms and subjected to a condition below those in the IDP camps.
