“BREAKING: Panic as 40 Repentant Boko Haram Terrorists Are Reportedly Shortlisted For 2026 Nigerian Army Recruitment. To Undergo Medicals” That was a recent headline news that went viral on social media which sparked public outrage amongst concerned Nigerians.
But it was good enough, that the Nigerian military in a prompt response strongly disclaimed it, maintaining that it does not recruit, enlist, or absorb repentant terrorists into its armed forces.
According to multiple official statements from Defence Headquarters and senior military leadership there is confirmation that former insurgents as well as people with criminal records are strictly barred from service. Yet, the fears and the pains remain, more so with the surviving victims of their kidnapping and blood-letting activities anytime they get to read about any form of amnesty programs for the so called “repentant” terrorists. Outrageous, is it not? Of course, it is.
Ordinarily, a government anywhere in the world
