Senator Ali Ndume, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Army,
has said that he is disappointed with the President Muhammadu Buhari government
for rehabilitating repentant members of Boko Haram.
Ndume spoke on Wednesday at the closed-door budget defense
session with the Nigerian Army.
Ndume, who has always seen the government’s deradicalizing
of ex-Boko Haram members as a misplacement of priority, insisted that it was
wrong for this administration to be resettling and pampering former terrorists
while the country is still at war.
“I am in disagreement with the government,” Ndume
buttressed.
The lawmaker, who represents Borno South, noted that members
of the dreaded terrorist group who are captured during military operations can
be kept as prisoners of war and later tried in accordance with the law.
Ndume pointed out that the recent “Damboa attack was carried
out by a repentant Boko Haram member.”
The lawmaker said that “the repentant Boko Haram member was
feeding the terror group information regarding the movement of the army.”
He said that it was unfair to have the government waste its
resources on those who threaten the peace of the nation.
