Anti-Terrorism: Senate introduces bill to create agency for repentant Boko Haram fighters

A bill seeking the establishment of an agency for repentant members of the boko haram terrorist group has been introduced in the senate.

The bill is aimed at creating a national agency that would see to the rehabilitation, de-radicalization and integration of repentant insurgents.

Nigerians have condemned government’s decision to free these former terrorists saying it undermines the effort put by the troops battling insurgency.
