In a surprising revelation, the Borno State government asserted that the 160,000 repentant Boko Haram insurgents cannot return to violence as they swore an oath with the Quran. Zuwaira Gambo, the Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, emphasized that the ex-terrorists, having taken such an oath, would not rejoin the militant group.
However, reactions from Nigerians vary, with many expressing skepticism and concerns over potential loopholes and security implications. Critics question the effectiveness of such oaths and the transparency of the reintegration process, pointing out the complexities of handling individuals with a history of violence.
