Boko Haram, ISWAP and other insurgents surrendering should neither be stigmatised nor victimised.
This is the position of the Muslims Right Concern (MURIC).
It said in a statement on Thursday that what the surrendering guys needed was nothing bit the love and understanding of Nigerians.
The statement by MURIC’s Diretor, Ishaq Akintola, noted: “Boko Haram insurgents and ISWAP fighters who are surrendering should be resettled and trained invocations that can enable them to cater for themselves and their families in future. Quick and meaningful resettlement will encourage the remaining insurgents and fighters to embrace peace.
“MURIC also appeals to the civilian population in Borno to manifest a spirit of accommodation and integration of remorseful insurgents and fighters. We warn against the stigmatization of any sort. Returning fighters should be treated like brothers newly found. What they need is our understanding, cooperation and kindness.”
