Chairman, Senate Committee on
Army, Senator Ali Ndume, says one of the repentant terrorists freed by the
Nigerian military murdered his father.
He made the disclosure in an
interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
The lawmaker representing Borno
South has been vocal against the deradicalization programme.
Ndume told the President
Muhammadu Buhari government to rehabilitate Boko Haram victims not insurgents.
“If the government is serious
about a programme like this, it should start with the victims first and not the
perpetrators”, he said.
“The so-called deradicalised are
released into society, there is no monitoring device. One of them that came
back killed his father and took away his two cows.”
This week, the Defence
Headquarters (DHQ), reintegrated 601ex-Boko Haram fighters into the society.
Fourteen foreign nationals from
Cameroon, Chad and Niger were part of those released from the DRR Camp in
Mallam Sidi, Gombe State.
Coordinator, Operation Safe
Corridor, Maj. Gen. Bamidele Shafa, said: “The clients went through
documentation processes to obtain vital background information and were
subjected to comprehensive medical screening to determine their health status.”
Shafa added that their DNA
samples were collected and biometrics captured by the National Identity
Management Commission (NIMC) for future references.
