Nigerians Reacts As Ex-Boko Haram Terrorist Hit Borno Streets To Protest Over Non-Payment Of Their Allowance
Written By Oshiobugie Omo-Ikirodah
Tensions flared in Borno state late last week as former members of the Boko Haram terrorist group took to the streets to protest the non-payment of their promised allowances. CONTINUE READING
The ex-terrorists, who are currently housed at the Hajj Camp in Borno after surrendering to Nigerian authorities, caused a significant disruption by blocking the Bulumkutu-Maiduguri highway. Their main grievance centers around the alleged non-payment of a monthly N30k allowance, which they claim the federal government had promised them.
This unexpected protest has sparked a wave of reactions from Nigerians:
Tobymartins-“his is beyond a protest. What this means is Buhari was paying this alarming number of individuals 30K of tax payers money, monthly, people who killed, raped, looted, destroyed communities, etc. These people who are supposed to be SORRY FOR THEIR EVIL, Fed fat for a while to have the BOLDNESS to come out and demand free 30K for being forgiven for their DASTARDLY AND TERRORIST ACTS!!! what a shame. What a big shame on Buhari’s government and the APC.”
Bobby-“Abacha said if insecurities last more than a day then the govt is sponsoring it ,they pay these people to rampage the north so indigenes will run n leave the place so illegal minings can go on smoothly..this nation is a living crime scene.”
Isaac Badmus-“See how Army and Police dey protect dem oo, if nah IPOB now army and police for don dey kill dem ooo. Well nah lord Luggard I blame shaa.”
Mhiz berry-“So Buhari was paying Terrorists allowance while Doctors and co never chop?? Blood of Jesus!! Which kind country is this?? Isn’t it time Dem split this country??😮😮.” CONTINUE READING
The government is yet to issue an official statement on the matter, but the protest has spotlighted the challenges associated with de-radicalization and reintegration efforts in Nigeria.
