The Defence Heaquarters has debunked claims on the online media that it has granted amnesty to some Boko Haram terrorists.This is contained in a statement released by the military high command on Tuesday.The statement said, “The attention of Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has been drawn to online Media stating that 800 Boko Haram Terrorists were given Amnesty. The story is false and has no iota of truth in it as DHQ has never mentioned Amnesty in all its statement.“In line with United Nations convention Charter, which Nigeria is a signatory, the Defence Headquarters came up with an initiative ‘Operation Safe Corridor’, this initiative is geared towards rehabilitating and reintegrating the repentant terrorists back into normal life in the society.“Therefore, the general public should disregard this insinuation as the initiative ‘Operation Safe Corridor’ should not be taken as Amnesty.“We hereby emphasise and stand our position that no act of Terrorism or Criminality will be condoned in our nation by any group. Please be guided.”
