 There have been various reactions to the Nigerian government's rehabilitation of repentant members of Boko Haram. One of the most recent is the Arawah Consultative Forum's condemnation of the government's reintegration program. A public analyst, Nick Agole, supports the ACF's stance on justice while former presidential candidate, Ahmed Buhari, thinks the Nigerian government fails the young men forced to join Boko Haram. Both your guests on the breakfast on Plus TV Africa as Jacinta Obiku now reports. Two weeks ago, pictures of more than 300 commanders of Boko Haram carrying placards and asking Nigerians for forgiveness were all over the internet. The army confirmed the validity of the images and disclosed that the repentant terrorists will be rehabilitated and reintegrated into the larger society. This idea is unwelcome by the governor of Bono State and lately the Arawah Consultative Forum. The National Publicity Secretary of the Forum explains the reason for their opposition. We do not offer a blanket condemnation of all Boko Haram members. What we are saying is that for them to say, I'm sorry, and then they are accepted into this society as innocent people, it's not enough, they must be tried. So if they are saying that they were kidnapped and conscripted into Boko Haram, there should be evidence of that. A public affairs analyst, Nick Agouli, agrees with the ACF that the law should be allowed to take its course. If these people were taken, conscripted, they had opportunities to return home, they had opportunities to give themselves up in the military. They didn't do that. But not everyone thinks like Agouli and the ACF. Ahmed Boari was a presidential candidate in 2019 general election. He says the repented Boko Haram members should be considered as most of them were forced into the group. I want us to be mindful of the fact that we have failed as a country, as a government, as a system to protect the lives of these people from being stolen by what I would like to call Boko Haram criminals. Now we have found a way to get them back and the first thing we are thinking of doing is kill them. In my opinion, I think we must be careful, I think we must be apologetic for actually not sub-guarding these people. This isn't the first time the federal government would be pardoning repented members of Boko Haram to the dismay of their victims. About 600 whom the federal government reported were forced into the terror group were rehabilitated in mid-2020. Just enter Ubyuku for Plus TV Africa.
