BBOG Group Kicks Against Amnesty For Boko Haram Members


The leader of the Bring Back Our Girls group, Dr Oby Ezekwesili have condemned greatly the request made by Borno State governor Kashimu saying that Boko Haram sect members should be granted amnesty. Ezekwesili said that on no condition should the members of this deadly group be considered for amnesty as their crimes are so heinous to be forgotten.
A member of the group, Dr Manasah Allen also said that the governor should be more concerned about ways of tackling the sect and bringing their evil ways to an end instead of begging for mnesty for them.

“The issue of amnesty for Boko Haram is not right. They killed so many people. They have destroyed so many lives. Everybody is affected in the havoc by the insurgency and here we have somebody talking about amnesty. We are determined to put pressure on government to bring back the girls and other people who have been kidnapped by the sect. We want the military to take out Boko Haram, not repel, or always dislodging the sect members. The military needs to take the battle to the Boko Haram, not wait and defend…some people need to answer questions about the abduction. In the enquiry, people must come and testify or they would have committed contempt of court. When that happens, the truth will come out,” he said.
