Repentant Boko Haram bill will solve insurgency problems – Senator Gaidam
He said that it was a strategic approach to solving insurgency problems.
“In view of the fact that the Boko Haram insurgency is becoming increasingly aggressive since its inception in 2009, marked by extreme brutality and explicit targeting of civilians, resulting in continued infliction of massive casualty on innocent citizens, particularly in northeastern Nigeria, it has become necessary for us to go back to the drawing board and adopt an alternative approach, in addition to the military option which has so far performed significantly well.
“Hence, the need for the establishment of the National Agency for the Rehabilitation, Deradicalization and reintegration of repentant insurgents to accommodate the defectors. “It should be noted that the deradicalization and rehabilitation process for former members of Boko Haram will vary on a case-to-case basis.
