Last week, the governor-elect of Borno State, Northern Nigeria offered an amnesty deal to Boko Haram, the Islamist rebel group headquartered in his state. Boko Haram has staged numerous attacks and assassinations, including the murder of prominent politicians in Borno during Nigeria's most recent campaign season. Governor-elect Kashim Shettima explained that the amnesty progerm, explicitly modeled on “aspects of the amnesty programme offered to militants in the country’s oil-producing Niger Delta region,” would involve “invit[ing] [Boko Haram] to a negotiating table as soon as we are in office to find out from them what their problems are and find solutions to them.” The idea of an amnesty has generated controversy, but Shettima seems to believe that a temporary peace would create the conditions for a lasting redress of grievances and the prevention of further violence. Boko Haram rejected the amnesty offer in word and now deed.
I think he shouldn't have reject the offer, i think he sould have went the found out what they trying to do or talk about. he was wrong for rejcting their offer, now they can do anything they desire to do with him because he refuses to come and join with them, idk what they gonna do about it but i think they should do something.
