Against the backdrop of calls for the granting of amnesty to
adherents of the Jama’atul Ahlus Sunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad, otherwise
known as Boko Haram, the federal government has indicated that
adherence to this is predicated on the physical appearance of the leadership and elements of the group.
President Goodluck Jonathan gave this condition Thursday during a
town hall meeting with stakeholders in Yobe State, where he paid a one
day visit.
Although the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) had faulted the
call for amnesty as an anti-dote to the current problem of Islamists
insurgence, the Sultan of Sokoto, Abubakar Sa’ad had pioneered the
request ahead of the president’s visit to Yobe Wednesday.
