Repentant Boko Haram Members Appeals To Nigerians To Forgive Them

Repentant members of the Boko Haram section have pleaded and begged Nigerians to forgive them for their nefarious activities over the past years.

The repentant section of the Boko Haram members made the appeal after their graduation from a de-radicalisation exercise and vocational training set up for them by the Federal Government of Nigeria which took place at the former permanent NYSC Orientation camp in  Mallam-Sidi town in Kwami Local Government Area of Gombe State on Wednesday, April 3rd.

Bappah Mura identified as a former member of the sect who was once a farmer stated that he was deceived into joining the Boko Haram group only to realise that all they were told were lies;

Bappah Mura statement read:

“I beg Nigerians for forgiveness. I regret totally what we were forced to do; it was not my intention but I beg for forgiveness. I was a humble farmer before I was deceived to join the Boko Haram sect. All they told us were different from all we were made to do; they lied to me and deceived many of us.  My heart bleeds that we were used to destroy lives and property by the sect. But today, I am so happy that we have been trained and made to acquire skills in different ventures. I am grateful to President Muhammadu Buhari and the Nigerian Army.”

Similarly, a 62-year-old former Boko Haram member identified as Abana Ali, stated that he was sorry for everything,

Abana Ali statement read:

“I am deeply pained in the heart that we had been associated with such a devilish group; I beg Nigerians to forgive and accept us back. We were deceived and forced to join the sect; because of my age, I was not allowed to partake in their operations, but was made to do menial jobs in their camps; we were also terrorised and enslaved, until the Army rescued us.

“We are grateful to the Federal Government for the show of love; the de-radicalisation training has been helpful and now I do not need to go home to beg, but to contribute what I have been taught.  Nigerian youths out there, I tell you the truth; there is no gain being Boko Haram members, except for regret and intense sorrow; we pray that no youth witness the harsh condition we were subjected to.”
