An Islamic body, Muslim Rights
Concern (MURIC) on Thursday told the Federal Government of Nigeria to treat repentant terrorists as brothers since they have surrendered.

Director of the group, Prof. Ishaq Akintola in a statement which he issued and made available to Journalists on Thursday, August 19, also said that these Boko Haram insurgents and ISWAP fighters who are surrendering should be resettled and trained in vocations that can enable them to cater for themselves and their families in the future.

“Boko Haram insurgents and ISWAP fighters who are surrendering should be resettled and trained in vocations that can enable them to cater for themselves and their families in future. Quick and meaningful resettlement will encourage the remaining insurgents and fighters to embrace peace.

“MURIC also appeals to the civilian population in Borno to manifest a spirit of accommodation and integration of remorseful insurgents and fighters. We warn against the stigmatization of any sort. Returning fighters should be treated like brothers newly found. What they need is our understanding, cooperation and kindness.”
