 The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohamed, is asking Nigerians to stop what he believes are negative and false narratives about repentant members of Boko Haram. There have been hundreds of such members who are leaving the group and being rehabilitated by the Nigerian government. Reactions to their rehabilitation have been mostly negative, with many Nigerians asking that they be prosecuted. But Mohamed, who spoke in Washington DC, said the comments are demoralising. He also debunked claims that the government plans to recruit the repentant terrorists into the Nigerian army.
