Senator Gaidam sponsors bill to establish agency to rehabilitate repentant Boko Haram fighters

Senator Ibrahim Gaidam representing Yobe East Senatorial District and former governor of Yobe State has sponsored a bill, “National Agency for Education, Rehabilitation, De-radicalisation and Integration of repentant insurgents in Nigeria which has been listed for first reading.

The bill which also passed through the first reading on the floor of the Senate on Thursday’s plenary which was presided by the Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege would be presented for second reading soon. Though, every detail of the bill has not been disclosed, but excerpts indicate that the bill would create administrative structure to deal with repentant Boko Haram insurgents and other criminal elements willing to surrender so as to be absorbed into their normal life in the society.

The proposed agency was coming at the backdrop of the presidential intervention that created the Northeast Development Commission through Acts of the National Assembly in the 8th Senate.Recall that Nigeria Military reportedly released about 1,400 Boko Haram fighters who earlier surrendered and subsequently deradicalised, a development that have been heavily criticised by the Nigerian public.

It’s only in Nigeria that this would happen.Rubbish

Arrest this man

He want to legalize terrorism NIGERIA my country what a shame.

I know those terrorists under whatever name, cannot operate in isolation! With due respect to the likes of Senator Abaribe and indeed all other senators, yes the floor is now open!

What's the roles of NEDC? If I may ask.

People in government are sponsoring BokoHaram

The evil monster that are sponsoring terrorist in Nigeria are now boldly speaking out for them.The bill is to reward the boko haram for the good job they did by beheading christain leaders and slaugthering christains. Nigerian speak up against evil.

Evil men in evil country called Nigeria Christians and churches are quite🔥🔥🔥🔥

Am sure Senator Gaidam is benefit from the Boko Haram / terrorist in Nigeria. Had it be that his family members had been gaffed up in the insurgency, such a useless bill will not come up from this insane senator and his likes will not support the idea on the floor of the house.

He is one of them

This man needs to be investigated, there is something linking him with the boko haram. Shameface

Thank God we know ur face now and ur children Boko Haram sponsor’s!

This is another to looting our money all in the name of establishing rehabilitation agencies. Besides this man himself is a definition of EVIL

It will be passed and signed into law before you know it . This government’s priority is about the welfare of herdsmen and Boko haram-

Insane

This man is Boko Haram. He must know something about their evil activities. Nigeria is finished under buhari that bills like this would become a topic for discussion. We have d Electoral Reform bill, other important bills b4 d Senate but this is more important to them. GOD, why?

I just need his social media handle?

OyedoyinDada This man needs to be dragged out of the senate by his constituents and given the beating of his life.....

The Sharia North doing everything to reward their jihad fighters.

Name sounds like....'Senator Goddammit'

He should be investigated

This people are bunch of criminals

The evil people in the country

See dem ooh na dem b dis ooh BH

How many agencies do we have supporting numerous victims of BH? Senator Gaidam, with all due respect you are a disgrace to the red chamber and so are the senators that would even consider such an obnoxious bill that clearly should be meant for the thrash can.

There coming out one by one

Boko haram “fighters”?

read between the lines Nigerians wake up !! and read this again and again and again and again

I have a feeling that this man is shekau's uncle. Cause they look alike somehow

When will this our senators get proper education

This Boko Haram calling themselves senators are at it again so you want to empower them and feed them all in the name of repentance and the people they devastated their lives and properties don't have agency to help them rehabilitate and forget all they av lost.

🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄😥

When there is a good leadership there is a tons of progress which will take us somewhere , so may god help you & bless you ,

These guys are simply impossible. Pls what brought us together with these set if people?

This guys take Nigerians as fools. The excess makes irresponsible about security realities in Nigeria.

Dis senator is a boko haram supporter. Wicked bastard

With whose money nigeria or your personal savings?

This our gov sef. But you see karma sha

Na dem

Do you blame the fool. Some of the southern senators will even be influenced by money to support the bill. So just wait and see.

Gaidam is Boko haram

These are the sponsors

'Fighters' and what are they fighting for?

What does he know again if not Boko Haram his group.

Kontinu

Na them😙

Some thing is wrong with this man. Some our representatives don't even why they are there.

nnaemeka_anene the joker

Misplaced priority is our national ID. How many agencies do we have for Bokoharam victims? Or how many rehabilitation centres do we have for Bokoharam victims?

Na dem

I think this man is not a Nigerian...... The war against insurgency just start!!!

Finally, he has shown his face! This is one of the people that is sponsoring boko harm. God will deal with you!!!
