The BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, has
given reasons why the move to grant amnesty to repentant Boko Haram insurgents
would be detrimental.
The group also said the President
Muhammad Buhari-led administration has to explain to Nigerians their
relationship with the insurgents.
It said those freed in the past
later backtracked and unleashed terror on the people.
The BBOG questioned the rationale
behind the move, adding that the government had not presented any strategy for
preventing freed terror suspects from going back to terrorism.
The group’s spokesperson, Sesugh
Akume, told reporters that “Some of the insurgents released later went back to
join their colleagues.
“We have evidence of this. What
is the strategy behind declaring amnesty for terrorists and releasing those in
custody and allowing them to go back to what they were doing?
“The Minister of Information said
they had a ceasefire arrangement with Boko Haram and they ought not to have
abducted the Dapchi girls, so they had a moral burden to return the girls. You
are talking about terrorists and morality?
“It seems as if the rest of us
understand the terrorists differently from how the government understands them.
They need to come down from their high horse and explain to us what is going
on.
“How can the government be
talking about Boko Haram and morality?
“Those they released in the past
went back and unleashed more terror, so how are they going to prevent this from
happening again?”
