"AMNESTY" FOR BOKO HARAM: A FAIT ACCOMPLI?

It is clear to me that "Amnesty" for Boko Haram is now imminent.

The clamour for it in recent times by prominent Nigerians across the political, religious, sectional and ethnic divides was well orchestrated to set the stage for it. The roll call of advocates for "amnesty" for Boko Haram is interesting: Sultan of Sokoto, Bishop Matthew Kukah, Nasir El Rufai, Senator Ita Enang, Senator Abdul Ningi, Bola Tinubu, Shehu Sani and Nuhu Ribadu. Many newspaper columnists have indicated that they "do not mind amnesty for Boko Haram if it would end its terrorist attacks". They forget that you cannot dissuade people who think they do God service by killing others from obeying Him! The doctrine of Taqiyya allows the Islamist terrorists to feign acceptance of "amnesty" only to re-group and come out later even much deadlier.

But "amnesty" for Boko Haram is more or less a fait accompli......except God intervenes.

Even the statements from the Presidency show the government is not averse to it if the "ghosts" take on bodies.

It is tragic. "Amnesty" will provide more funding for Islamist terrorism to escalate in West Africa. We have now entered the den of lions. But, like He did for Daniel, God will deliver His People.

Now, I really I fear for Nigeria.  I am wary about the implications of granting "amnesty" to Boko Haram if the Federal Government concedes to those pressuring it to do so.
