Insecurity Can Never End If Nigeria Forgives Terrorists – Deji Adeyanju on Ex-Boko Haram Amnesties

State officials, including the Information Commissioner and the Governor’s Special Adviser on Security, emphasized that the oath is binding and urged communities to welcome the repentant fighters for successful reintegration.
