President
Muhammadu
Buhari has
promised to
grant amnesty
to Boko Haram
fighters on the
condition that
they release all
the abducted Chibok schoolgirls.
The President, who is on a three-day visit to France, said this during an
interview w ith Agence France Pres se on Wednesday.
Buhari told AFP that the Federal Government was talking to Boko Haram’s
prisoners and could offer them amnesty if the extremist group hands over more
than 200 schoolgirls abducted from their hostel at the Chibok Government
Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State on April 14, 2014.
He added that he was confident that conventional attacks by the terrorists
would be rooted out by November but cautioned that deadly suicide attacks,
some of them waged by children, were likely to continue.
He said, “We are trying to see whether we can negotiate with the Boko Haram
prisoners in our custody for the release of the Chibok girls.
“If the Boko Haram leadership eventually agrees to turn over the Chibok girls to
us, the complete number, then we may decide to give them (the prisoners)
amnesty.”
Buhari, who has promised to stamp out the group’s bloody six-year insurgency,
said the government would not release any prisoners unless it was convinced it
could “get the girls in reasonably healthy condition.”
But he cautioned that negotiating with Boko Haram militants was fraught with
difficulties.
“We are trying to establish if they are bona fide, how useful they are in Boko
Haram, have they reached a position of leadership where their absence is of
relevance to the operation of Boko Haram?” he said.
Buhari said he was confident that the military would defeat Boko Haram before
the end of the year but expressed pessimism over the possibility of stopping the
terrorists from attacking ‘soft’ targets.
He added, “The main conventional attacks, where Boko Haram use armoured
cars they took from the Nigerian troops, or mounted machine-guns on pick-up
vehicles and so on, we believe by the end of the three months, we will see the
end of that.
“What may not absolutely stop is the occasional bombings by the use of
improvised explosive devices.
“We do not expect a 100 per cent stoppage of the insurgency.”
Meanwhile, the Centre for Crisis Communication, which is acting as a
middleman between the Federal Government and Boko Haram, says the
terrorists have said they are tired of fighting.
The Executive Secretary for the CCC, Air Commodore Yusuf Anas (retd.), said
this in a statement on Wednesday.
Anas, who is a former Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air
Force, said terrorists sent the CCC a message saying they are tired of fighting
and willing to end the war.
He noted that none of the suspected Boko Haram elements that spoke with the
CCC asked for any form of monetary inducement or compensation as a pre-
condition for laying down their arms.
“In fact, many of them said that they were simply tired of fighting and being
fugitives in a war that they were deceived into joining,” he said.
Buhari had said on Tuesday that the Federal Government had begun
negotiations with members of the Boko Haram sect to secure the release of the
Chibok girls.
The President said one of the conditions given by the terrorists was to release
one of its members who was developing Improvised Explosives Devices. He,
however, said that his government rejected the demand.

the case of the girl has been lost since even Shekau can't convince me he knows the whereabouts of the girls. To blazes with the Amnesty all BH folks must be rooted out with maximum force

Part of a grand plan to reward terrorism... Who are they? What are they fighting for? who is their sponsor?
This country is sickening...

This is totally unacceptable

AMNESTY FOR UR KICTCHEN TOO.. CHECK MY SIGNATURE
