The Defence Headquarters had condemned online reports that 800 Boko Haram members had been granted amnesty. and called on the public to disregard it,
stressing that it would not tolerate acts of terrorism or criminality by
any group.
A statement by the Acting
Director, Defence Information, Brig. Gen. Rabe Abubakar, in response to
the report, read, “The attention of Defence Headquarters has been drawn
to online Media stating that 800 Boko Haram Terrorists were given
Amnesty. The story is false and has no iota of truth in it as DHQ has
never mentioned Amnesty in all its statement.
“In line with
United Nations convention Charter, which Nigeria is a signatory, The
Defence Headquarters came up with an initiative “Öperation Safe
Corridor”, this initiative is geared towards rehabilitating and
reintegrating the repentant terrorists back into normal life in the
society.
“Therefore, the general public should disregard these
insinuations as the initiative “Operation Safe Corridor” should not be
taken as Amnesty.”
“We hereby emphasise and stand our position
that no act of Terrorism or Criminality will be condoned in our nation
by any group. Please be guided.”
