Nigeria: 1,000 Terrorists Prosecuted, 500 Jailed, Says Military
2021-03-24
[AllAfrica] The military yesterday put the number of Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...

In addition, more members of the terror group are to go on trial in June.

The decision to put the turbans on trial came as the federal government affirmed its determination to secure the country against threats to its corporate existence.

It also expressed the readiness of the military to execute the presidential directive to the armed forces and other security agencies to end all threats to national territorial integrity, including banditry, terrorism and kidnapping.

(UN), European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
(EU), the United Kingdom (UK) and the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue have also met in Abuja to chart a new course to contain the humanitarian crisis in the North-east, where over eight million people have been displaced.

The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Lucky Irabor, said at a meeting tagged: "The North-east Symposium on Reintegration, Reconciliation and Resettlement," that 1,000 turbans had been prosecuted since the inception of Operation Safe Corridor (OPSC), saddled with the responsibility of deradicalising repentant bad boys, while 500 were tossed in the clink

for five to 60 years.

Irabor, who was represented by the OPSC Commander, Maj. Gen. Bamidele Ashafa, said: "The federal government of Nigeria does not condone Boko Haram. Over 1,000 Boko Haram members have been prosecuted. I want to use this opportunity to say that over 500 have been tossed in the clink
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!
and are serving various jail terms for up to 60 years, the minimum term is five years.

"Arrangements are also being concluded to begin the trial of another set of Boko Haram suspects. That will start between now and June."
