Terrorism, Elusive Justice In Nigeria

[Shola Sholaz]

Members of a terrorist gang that has targeted and bombed civilian centers; murdering and maiming the innocent in droves deserve severe punishment.
.
Therefore, the prospect of an amnesty for Boko Haram rankles and boggles the mind.
.
In its gross unfairness, it disregards the comeuppance of Boko Haram and ignores the pains, sorrow and tears of its victims and their families. Only a spineless and craven government can countenance amnesty for Boko Haram.
.
But the Goodluck Jonathan administration, wobbly on its own weight of ineptitude... cannot defeat a terrorist insurgency. Therefore, it has no choice but to placate terrorism.
