Legality Of Rehabilitating 'Repented' Terrorists by kilisi(m): 11:20pm On Feb 11, 2020 |
With heavy heart and great sadness, I read the news about repented and rehabilitated Boko-Haram members being released and reintegrated into the society. However, as a novice of law who is interested in knowing what the law says concerning the action of the Federal Government, I want the law experts to please shed more light on the position of the law regarding this issue. Is it constitutional? If it is not, why is there a deafening silence from legal experts on this action of the government? Why can't armed robbers, hired killers, kidnappers and so on also not benefit from same rehabilitation? Why is the NASS silent on this issue? Can the Federal Government turn itself into prosecutor and judge at the same time. So many questions in my head right now. Sad! 3 Likes |

My person, I share your views on this. And I hope you understand that there's a war raging on for the soul of this country and the souls of Christians in it. They are released to propagate the jihad on this nation after all the atrocious deeds perpetuated while some ethnic groups have been warned not to attend the burial ceremony of the father of the erstwhile leader of the group. All in this country. |

Exactly What law is Buhari using to make these killers avoid trial ? Where did he get the power to "canonize" captured Terrorist from ? Why can't armed robbers and Evans enjoy such priviledge too 2 Likes 1 Share |

GamalNasser: If there is no legal backing, why then is there a deafening silence on the part of legal luminaries on this issue? Or has Nigeria turned into 'democratic communist' state where speaking against the wrong actions of the government is no longer tolerated? 2 Likes |

One of the judicial functions of the Chief Executive is amnesty or a presidential pardon. But personally, this particular case is abnormal. 1 Like |

chatinent: Presidential pardon without trial? Presidential pardon to terrorists? Please are you a legal expert? I'm just curious because I know there is Terrorism Prevention Act or something like that. |

GamalNasser: Like I've always told you, you're a kid with zero knowledge of politics. This is called Prerogative Of Mercy. The Sole Exclusive right of the President to pardon and forgive and bring them back to the society. After all Niger Delta militants also received amnesty and were rehabilitated and placed among the society during the Yaradua/Jonathan era 1 Like 1 Share |

People are busy complaining, meanwhile under international law those suspected Boko Haram members are POW and eventually, you're still supposed to release them afterwards. |

BH committed treason, a capital offence. Sending them back to the society without trial is obstruction of justice and whole lots of other crimes. President has prerogative of mercy but only after the judiciary has done theirs. |

International laws comes into play in wars between two different sovereign Countries. tartar9: Terrorists captured by our gallant soldiers in battle are being released by the FG while the Terrorists are still waging war against the country and waxing stronger. The FG release captured terrorists but the terrorists behead our captured soldiers. This mean the those soldiers that laid down their lives fighting for Nigeria died in vain if the FG can house, clothes and feed their killers robustly before releasing them back into the society. |

helinues: Repentant or ex inmates? At least they served their time for their previous crime and that's very different from releasing terrorists without trial now. |
