As Nigeria grapples with the ongoing insurgency crisis, the debate over granting amnesty and rehabilitation to repentant terrorists continues to generate mixed reactions.
While the government maintains that reintegration programs offer a path to lasting peace, victims of terrorist attacks and their families argue that such initiatives amount to rewarding criminals.
Human rights groups have raised concerns about the moral and legal implications of granting ex-militants a second chance without proper justice for their victims. Many affected families demand that perpetrators be held accountable rather than reintegrated into society.
On the other hand, security experts argue that deradicalization programs are necessary to prevent reoffending and break the cycle of extremism. However, they stress that the government must balance reconciliation efforts with justice and compensation for victims.
As discussions on the issue continue, Nigerians remain divided on whether rehabilitation is a viable solution or a betrayal of those who suffered at the hands of terrorists.
