A senator from Borno State, Ali Ndume, has alleged that many of the repentant Book Haram members, who are being rehabilitated by the Federal Government, have run away.
Ndume, who faulted the FG for rehabilitating the former BH members, said they would never truly repent.
He wondered why the FG is rehabilitating the people who have killed many and rendered many homeless, while those in the IDP camps are not attended to.
He told BBC on Wednesday:
“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.”
