Ndume representing Borno South Senatorial District said the repentant terrorists should not receive a pat on the back.
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Army, Senator Ali Ndume, has said he does not agree that the surrendered Boko Haram terrorists should be given blanket amnesty or pampered by the Nigerian Army.
“It didn’t come to me as a surprise actually, because I’ve been saying for a long time that the armed forces and other security agencies of the country are handicapped. Otherwise, they have the capacity and the ability to prosecute this war. “It is only that, as I have said before, there shouldn’t be blanket amnesty and pampering treatment to those who have surrendered,” Ndume said.
The federal lawmaker was of the opinion that the army should be more focused on ensuring that the Boko Haram war was brought to an end even faster than it had been projected in various quarters.
