Senator Ali Ndume has advised the Federal Government against the rehabilitation of ex Boko Haram fighters because they will never repent.
This was after the Federal Government announced the graduation of 601 former Boko Haram fighters from a Deradicalization, Rehabilitation, and Reintegration program of the Army.
Ndume who spoke to BBC Hausa said that the program is kicked against by his people in Borno State.
He said, “This government’s programme is unacceptable to our people. The right thing is to stop it, forthwith. Not that they even apologised to you, they apologized to the government with the thinking that government has failed and that is why they are being pampered,” he said.
They are like Kharajites. Many among those released have since run away. They will never repent.
The government should know what to do about them. But not re-introducing someone to you, who has killed your parent, or your relations.
“If there is sincerity of purpose in this, those in the IDP camps should be trained in various trades and vocation so that they could start life again.”
