Former Nigerian Ambassador to Switzerland, Yahaya Kwande
Boko Haram, the Islamic terrorist group that has killed about 4,000 people since 2009 when it began its campaign of terror, for the second time in one week, threw a spanner in the works of a committee set up to consider amnesty for its members as it rejected the amnesty deal being worked out by the federal government.
But in a reaction to the Islamic sect’s rejection of amnesty for its members, former Nigerian Ambassador to Switzerland, Yahaya Kwande, who was also part of the Northern Elders' Forum (NEF) that met and pleaded with President Goodluck Jonathan last week to grant Boko Haram amnesty, advised the federal government not to go back on its bid to explore the amnesty option despite its rejection by the sect's members.
