Lai Mohammed explains why repentant Boko Haram members can't be prosecuted - Edoman - 08-20-2021 Lai Mohammed explains why repentant Boko Haram members can't be prosecuted The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has given a reason why repentant Biko Haram members cannot be prosecuted. In recent weeks, no fewer than 1000 Boko Haram fighters and their families have handed themselves over to the Army in the southern Borno towns of Konduga, Bama, and Mafa. The repentant insurgents have gone on to be rehabilitated and reintegrated by the military. This action has been condemned by many Nigerians who are of the opinion that instead of rehabilitation, the surrendered insurgents should be prosecuted for acts of terrorism. However, in an interview with NAN in Washington, Mohammed explained why the repentant insurgents can't be prosecuted. In his words Quote:“I personally spoke to the military authority before I left Nigeria and they said what they were doing is what the global practice dictates about soldiers that surrendered that should be treated as prisoners of war. He applauded the military for the recent increase in the number of insurgents that are turning themselves in. Quote:“The fact that we are witnessing insurgents submitting in droves calls for commendation of our military for their doggedness. |
