FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL BE HAPPY TO CELEBRATE BOKO HARAM SURRENDER – MAKU
The Minister of Information, Labaran
Maku, said on Wednesday that the Federal Government was more interested
in Boko Haram members laying down their arms than in the said death
of Shekau.
Maku told journalists after
the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja on
Wednesday that the government was not interested in celebrating the
death of the terrorist.
“The Federal Government would be happier
if the Boko Haram leader and his group laid down their weapons and embraced
peace,” he said.

The minister added, “Government has a
responsibility to respect human rights unlike members of the Boko Haram sect
who have thrown away all sympathy for human lives and are prepared to kill
people just for killing’s sake.
“For us it is immaterial if the leader
of the terrorist group is killed or not. We want them to drop their weapons and
embrace peace. We want them to drop their weapons, stop killing their parents
and innocent people and accept peace.”
