Stop rehabilitating ex-Boko Haram fighters in the the society. They will never repent — Senator Ndume


Senator Ali Ndume representing Borno south, has asked the Federal government to stop the reintegration of ex-Boko Haram fighters into the society.

In 2016, the military launched Operation Safe Corridor, an initiative for the deradicalisation and rehabilitation of ex-Boko Haram fighters. The military had also said the aim of the operation is to reintegrate repentant Boko Haram members into society.

About 600 ex-Boko Haram members completed a de-radicalisation, rehabilitation and reintegration (DRR) programme in July.

Senator Ndume while speaking to BBC Hausa service programme, asked the government to stop rehabilitating ex-insurgents because they would never repen
“This government’s programme is unacceptable to our people. The right thing is to stop it, forthwith

Not that they even apologised to you, they apologised to the government with the thinking that government has failed and that is why they are being pampered.

They are like Kharajites. Many among those released have since run away. They will never repent.

The government should know what to do about them. But not re-introducing someone to you, who has killed your parent, or your relations.

If there is sincerity of purpose in this, those in the IDP camps should be trained in various trades and vocation so that they could start life again,” he said.

He told a two-person board panel that he was moved to tears by Sirhan’s remorse and that the 77-year-old should be released if he’s not a threat to others. Born March 19, 1944, Sirhan is a Palestinian militant who was found guilty of a*sas*inating the New York Senator and brother of slain president John F Kennedy in a Los Angeles hotel on June 5, 1968.  Robert F.
