Rights activist, Ikimi condemns bill seeking Amnesty for repentant Boko haram
Ikimi who doubles as the Executive Director of the Centre for the Vulnerable and Underprivileged, CENTREP described the proposed bill as,”Anti-Nigerian”.
“Granting Amnesty to the Niger Delta militants is a different ball game. Granting Boko Haram fighters whom the Presidency has already said that the majority of its fighters were foreigners is a different ball game. “So, if the Presidency can come out and say majority of the Boko Haram fighters are foreigners, then, why are we recruiting them into the Army? Then, why are we granting them Amnesty? These are very, very dangerous issues
” So, how can this National Assembly work? How can they really work as a national assembly? As a legislative body when they’re under the wraps and cover of the Presidency?
