The member representing Jos East and Jos south in the Federal House of Representatives, Honourable Bitrus Kaze on saturday bemoaned the refusal of amnesty offered to Boko Haram by the Federal Government. The lawmaker in a press statement said that it is “sickening and ridiculing”.

Hon Kaze said “In my honest view, granting amnesty to remorseless and unrepentant terrorists is the weirdest policy ever contemplated by any government in the history of Nigeria.”
