IGBERETV report

The Federal Government is considering establishing rehab centres for repentant terrorist groups.

The Coordinator of the National Counter Terrorism Centre, Rear Admiral Yem Musa (retd.), explained to the House of Representatives Committee on National Security and Intelligence that the NCTC plans to establish two Disarmament, Deradicalisation, Rehabilitation and Reintegration Centres for repent terrorists.

He said his is part of the capital projects of the NCTC for 2023.

Out of a capital expenditure of N3, 839,160,000 proposed for next year, N2, 400,000,000 will be spent on the centres.

The National Security Adviser, Major General Babagana Monguno (retd.), had on November 17, 2022, led heads of the intelligence community before the committee to defend their respective 2023 budget proposals.

Musa lamented that the NCTC, which is less than one year old, has been battling with a shortage of funds to achieve the purposes for which it was established.

The NCTC presentation to the committee partly reads: "Since its establishment, efforts have been made towards the setting up and operationalisation of the centre. These efforts have not been easy due to lack of funding for the centre since its inception early this year as provision was not made for funding in this year’s budget.

"That is why this maiden budget is key to the effective take-off and operationalisation of the centre to achieve its core mandate."

Musa told the committee that the projected personnel cost for 2023 was N1,864,889,169, but the Budget Office of the Federation reviewed it downward to N997,152,292.25, which he said, "is insufficient for the Centre considering its proposed staff strength."

The NCTC coordinator pleaded with the committee to consider and approve the initial sum forwarded by the centre.

While the NCTC proposed allocation of N3, 839,160,000 to its capital projects, the sum was reviewed down to N428, 860,000.

The NCTC coordinator prayed the committee to "facilitate the appropriation of (a) the sum of N1,864,889,169.00 only as personnel cost for the Year 2023; (b) the sum of N5,860,610,050.00 only as overhead cost for the Year 2023; (c) the sum of N3,839,160,000.00 only for the Year 2023 capital expenditure."

If this is true, Mr President should reconsider this, terrorists should be sent to their creator in heaven.

Did they consider how many people they have killed before arriving at this gesture?

Are you promoting or supporting their actions?

Are you encouraging the sane Nigerians to start carrying arms against the state so as not to be left out in this largees?

Are you mocking the victims who either died or disabled from their act?

What message are you sending to the Nigerian armed forces?

Please just tell me this is not true. Terrorism can not be curbed if we are using this kid gloves tactics.

Take the battle to them and seek external help if you are overwhelmed.

This government is really sympathetic to terrorists

I don't like this news at-all

Encouraging to the uneducated mind

Any fool that will vote for the demonic APC after reading this news, may that person suffer and find it difficult to eat and breathe all through his/her stay on earth.

Not supprise

All I can say to this news is vote Obi for President. Nigerians should learn from the Buhari/Osinbajo disaster that we should vote for capacity, good reputation and equity instead of tribalism and religious nepotism

For IPOB members too or just the jihadist?

Welcome development

Widows of slain military officers and soldiers particularly those fighting the war against terrorism have protested the continuous release of murderous Boko Haram terrorists on the grounds that they have repented but....wants them punished like other criminals

Still talking about repentant terrorists with all the atrocities these bandit terrorists have wrecked upon families and nation?

Why wasting money to rehabilitate bloodshedders or killers? The only good terrorist is the dead terrorist. Una no dey hear. It will never be well with any foolish person initiating or supporting this shitcrap.

Amen sir.You need to see the condition of survivors of the treasonable crime of these terrorists in displaced people or IDP camps.

Yet these their bastard co-sponsors in government and sympathisers are only obsessed love for the killers terrorists more than their unfortunate victims.
This APC regime must be kick out.

That would be a waste of public funds.
