May 9, 2016 – 800 Former Boko Haram Terrorists Given Amnesty Undergoing Skill Training In Maiduguri Borno State
Nigerian FG Grants Amnesty To 800 Former Boko Haram Terrorists, Skill Acquisition Training Ongoing In Maiduguri Borno State
NEMA (National Emergency Management Agency) DG, Alhaji Mohammed Sani Sidi, today said that over 800 repentant Boko Haram terrorists have been granted amnesty by the Federal Government of Nigeria and they are undergoing skill acquisition training in Maiduguri Borno State.
Sani Sidi said the repentant terrorists are being monitored by the Office of the Chief of Defence Staff.
Boko Haram Amnesty Program is a poverty alleviation program aimed at empowering repentant insurgents who joined the dreaded sect because of poverty and unemployment.
Hope the Federal Government can do more to help other unemployed youths in the country.
@Admin, I love your closing statement. You see, all these amnesty this, amnesty that, it would all make the good youth feel so bad that he har never joined in giving the country troubles. These ‘repentant’ Boko Haram terrorists will now be better off than their counterparts that were peaceful.
The government could be creating more problems than they think they are solving with this amnesty that is often highjacked. Let’s not be shocked at the number of Hausa youths that will become overnight millionaires on the account of this amnesty. It happened in the South-South. Now is North-East. Nigerian youths are not happy. Another volcano is likely to erupt as another national plague from some other geopolitical zone. In the end, another amnesty programme for them. Chain reaction.
This is a great idea to restore peace and order in the Northeast region of Nigeria. Amnesty to repetant terrorists that provide valuable information on underground operations of Boko Haram terrorists,their weapons and ammo. supply chains, and their finances is a win win idea for Nigerian government and those jobless youths that have been cajoled to join this deadly group. The federal government should use some of them as spies, give them the needed support and vocational education to be able to stand on their own. Probably, this is one of the reasons why Boko Haram terrorists have suffered great setbacks and casualties in 11 months since president Buhari took over as our Commander in Chief of Nigerian Forces. This is a great idea.
I really do not understand this Presidents, grant amnesty to terrorist group, nawa oo
They are his people na
This is a good idea.

This is all part of the northern Muslim agenda with bhuari all I can say is good riddance with their bullshit you foolish commentors comending this rubbish will regret..man I pity naija oh where in the world do they grant amnesty to murderers I still find it hard to fantom
And thank you for that comment @EGBERRI MAMA1
BUHARI IS BEHIND BOKO HARAM, HE FORMED IT TO FIGHT OPPOSITION.
BUT AS LONG AS THERE IS GOD, BUHARI WILL NEVER KNOW PEACE FOR HE IS A TERRORIST. HOW CAN A SENSIBLE MAN GRANT AMNESTY TO TERRORIST GROUP THAT SHED MUCH BLOOD?
BORN TO RULE GROUP WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE PEACE
PMB will never cease to surprise us. If these repented Boko Haram members are from the Igbo tribe, would he had given them second chance talk more of granting them amnesty? Just asking o
Wait wait wait- a – minute!!!
What am I reading here? Are my eyes decieving me? Wait o…
So after killing nearly a million law abiding innocent civilian and good people of Nigerians that were going about their normal businesses, and destroyed properties worth billions of Naira, the FG now granted them Amnesty????????
And they would henceforth moves as free men on the street?
WHAAAT? Where did this advice come from? Amnesty to terrorist? Chai, I am short of words o. In fact, it did not happen, it a hoax.
Jilo, what do you have to say to this @ Jilo?
If this report its true then it means I can question the authenticity of the account of the kidnaped chibok girls the claimed has not been found.
That besides, it also mean, Shekau the overrall leader of the insurgency will someday show up and may be given a ministerial portfolio in Nigeria.
If this report is true, then I will know that we are not safe in this Country anymore. Then I will be preparing to go nationalize myself to any other country of my chioce.
Yeye de smell.
I take a stroll…
