A bill, to create a Federal agency to take care of repentant members of Boko Haram, which was tabled on Thursday, on floor of the Senate, has sparked outrage on the microblogging platform, Twitter.

The bill, which was sponsored by Senator Ibrahim Gaidam, Yobe East senatorial district, was read on the floor of the Senate for the first time, on Thursday.

Senator Gaidam is the immediate past governor of

Nigerians, who have reacted to the development, expressed dissatisfaction towards what they referred to as ‘fair’ treatment for repentant members of Boko Haram, who had committed several atrocities.

Sequel to this recent development, no fewer than 608 repentant Boko Haram insurgents are undergoing the De-radicalisation, Rehabilitation and Reintegration (DRR) programme under the Operation Safe Corridor in Malam-Sidi, Gombe State.

Some Twitter users opined that the Federal Government-led by President Muhammadu Buhari is pampering the insurgents.

There is no agency for widows and orphans of @HQNigerianArmy soldiers killed by Boko Haram, so, why create one for ‘repentant’ Boko Haram. Nigeria REWARDS terrorists, yet we are surprised @RealDonaldTrump placed us an a visa ban?

The govt is Boko Haram!

This Boko Haram thing ehh is definitely a business and source of income to some people in or close to government, if not I don't understand this nonsense agency for repentant Boko Haram.

Come to think about it, who are the people that would work in this agency? Imagine the DG being a so called repentant BH member. This govt is seriously working hard to see that a "repentant" BH fighter becomes the president of Nigeria in the nearest future.

Very soon, I mean very very soon, Shekau will come out of hiding and contest election either as a Vice Presidential Candidate, Governorship or Deputy Governorship or at worst A senatorial Candidate. He will also win the election to enjoy further immunity, 2023 loading

Like I have said before, APC is a terrorist Government. There is nothing that happens under this government that shocks me.

It has become a big and lucrative business under this Administration. With all this nonsense, it doesn't seems Boko Haram is ending soon. Planning to create a demonic agency for those wiping out families and maiming people on daily basis . . . Pathetic!
