Femi Fani-Kayode,
former minister of aviation has criticised the move by Nigerian senate to
establish an agency to rehabilitate and integrate repentant Boko haram members
in Nigeria.
The bill, “National Agency for Education, Rehabilitation, De-radicalisation
and Integration of repentant insurgents in Nigeria sponsored by Senator Ibrahim
Gaidam representing Yobe East Senatorial District and former governor of Yobe
State on Thursday was passed through first reading on the floor of the Senate plenary
The bill is expected
to create administrative structure to deal with repentant Boko Haram insurgents
willing to surrender so as to be absorbed in the society.
Reacting,
Fani-Kayode described the bill to create an agency for repentant insurgents as
‘Evil’
The former minister
stressed that insurgents who ‘behead clerics and bomb places of worship’ do not
deserve an agency of rehabilitation.
Fani-Kayode on his
Twitter page wrote:”A Federal Agency for “repentant” Boko Haram members is to
be established? An agency for beasts that slit open the throats of women and
children, behead clerics, abduct and enslave thousands and bomb places of
worship?
“This can only
happen in a “shithole” country and in a zoo. It is EVIL.”
Meanwhile, the
Nigerian army on Thursday denied move to recruit repentant Boko Haram members
into the military.
The Coordinator,
Operation Safe Corridor (OPSC), Maj.-Gen Bamidele Shafa explained that the
military does not recruit anyone convicted of any offense into the force.
