Senator Ali Ndume has revealed that one of the Ex Boko Haram fighters, who was recently reabsorbed into the community has killed his father and absconded with his cows, according to SaharaReporters.
It was learnt that, Ndume during an interview with Channels Tv faulted the rehabilitation programme, adding that the government should have started by rehabilitating the victims before working on the attackers.
His words:
“Those that have been radicalised and released into the community, there is no monitoring device, and most of them that are back, I can give an example in Damboa,
“One of them only came back to kill his father and take away his cows and ran away with it.
“Some of them that returned to Damboa, after two, three days, they disappeared. I learnt reliably that even in the course of de-radicalisation, they said they are not willing to come to live with the infidels.
“This programme really needs to be looked into immediately. I am gathering information and position of my people and even go legal.”
“This is a situation where we still have over one million internally displaced in various camps and host communities and they are still dealing with the trauma of the insurgency and the government is doing this Operation Safe Corridor bringing in those people that tortured, killed and maimed. The memories are still fresh in our mind.
“Almost all the people are against this programme.
“Why don’t you rehabilitate, resettle the people that are dealing with the trauma and give them startup pack to start their lives in any part of the country?
“We have IDPs scattered all over the country. If the government is serious about a programme like this, it should start with the victims first, not the perpetrators.
