The believe in certain quarters that the Nigerian government only pays attention to whatever a person or group of persons are saying when they carry arms against the state is about to play out again, following desperate efforts to end the killings by Boko Haram.
“For conditions that are not difficult to meet such as the demand for Diyya (financial compensation) for their 24 identified members that were killed, the government may meet such demands."
A very dependable source in the Presidency told Punch on Sunday that the Federal Government will give anything to the sect because it does not want to miss the opportunity for dialogue as offered by the sect’s second-in-command, Abu Mohammed Ibn Abdulaziz.
“I can confirm to you that it is true that the group is currently dialoguing with the government. The good news is that they are talking and they have promised to cease fire once some of their demands are met.
“Government can also give critical thought to those found to be innocent, but are being detained or prosecuted, particularly women and children as demanded by the group since they do not have any objection to the trial of those genuinely involved in crime,” the source added.
Meanwhile, one of the people named by Boko Haram as mediators, Senator Bukar Abba Ibrahim, said on Sunday that neither the Federal Government nor the sect had reached out to him over the proposed peace talks between the two parties.
Senator Ibrahim, a former governor, said “I have not been contacted by anybody, either from the Federal Government side or Boko Haram. What you have been hearing on radio or on televisions is false, thank you.”
It would be recalled that the group also gave a condition that the discussion with the government must take place in Saudi Arabia.

ReplyDeleteIdiota. You guys suppose not to exist at all, thank God i am not GEJ.
DeletePresident GEJ should never negotiate with these evil killers called BAKO HAREM.This will only lead to more dangerous groups to emerge.No reasonable leader will ever negotiate with evil killers like BAKO HAREM.He will be puting the lives of innocent Nigerians in danger.The best thing to do is to look for them and kill them with their sponsors.Long live Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteLet government compensate them and tomorrow another group will emerge and i will join the new group that will emerge and i am sure many nigerians will join, stupid government give them money to strengthen them.
ReplyDeleteI think the Govt should negotiate with them, but condemmed prisonners should represent the govt while the venue of the meething should be concealled with explosives so that both parties would have a tast of the sharp pain frm explosives
