Amnesty: Boko Haram Gives FG Conditions For Dialogue

boko-haram-3Muhammad Marwan, a leader of the Boko Haram sect, has said that if the Federal Government would not blackmail or deceive them as was done in the past, they will be ready to embrace dialogue as was initiated by the Northern Elders Forum.

Marwan, who spoke in an interview with the Hausa Service of the Voice of America (VOA) monitored in Kaduna on Tuesday, added that he was speaking on behalf of members of Jamatul Ahlus Sunnati lil Daawati wal Jihad, otherwise known as Boko Haram.

“We thank Allah, we will extend our hands for dialogue to the northern elders just as was done before under my leadership. But if they come there shouldn’t be any deceit in it as was experienced in the past,” he said.

Marwan, however said they were yet to be contacted on the issue of amnesty, but agreed that dialogue was the most important thing in settling matters between aggrieved parties and hoped that a genuine and sincere discussion would eventually lead to amicable resolution of the protracted crisis.

His words: “My hope is this, everyday, it is the government that is seeking for this ,on matters pertaining to everyday life, we thank Allah our hope is that there shouldn’t be any deceit, let them come for it. This dialogue is the most important, it is what people want, anytime the issue of dialogue comes in, it is what people are looking for to settle matters between two warring factions.

“Nobody contacted us on this amnesty and we did not contact anybody also. What I’m saying now, truly you are talking with Muhammad Marwan and those that sat with me in the past, will definitely know that you are talking to Muhammad Marwan. I hope if they come through the right channel just as they came to us in the past, Allah willing, they will achieve the desired result. I am assuring the Muslim community particularly in the North, the desired result will be achieved but they should pray so that there will not be any blackmail and deceit on the government’s part as was experienced in the past. This should be their prayers,” he said.

  1. This is to remind mr president just incase he has forgotten or never heard of it that no country or province goes into dialogue or negotiation with terrorist. Is there any reason why the boko haram is wanting to kill the whole northern state. If only the can provide a awesome reason why they are doing what thay doing then good but if there is no reason then the should do something about the staving masses. Again no One goes in to dialogue with terrorist…..

  2. Idiots. You are not talking to any Muslim in the North. Remember God said “INNA RABBAKA LABIL MIR SUADI” Indeed He is at the bus stop… You will meet Him any time, any day. Why do you need amnesty? Will amnesty solve your problems/objects? Are you really Muslims? What actually do you want, killing people in the North only? Is North the only Nigeria? Are there not Muslims and Christains in South south and south east?
    FG! Politicians! Who ever! …

  3. I cam assure you that after giving amnesty to this people call. B oko Haram will give birth to another fiercer Islamic group in the nearest future. If you don’t believe this, you can cast your mind back and see that after every 15 years they always come out with a renewed Jihad method. Boko Haram has been here since decades ago; they only change mnethods of approach with the passing days. The Fedral Government should think twise. Dialogue cannot stop these people. It is force that can stop them.
    Shallom!
