Anglican Youth Fellowship, Nigeria, had on Friday, opined that the Federal government’s decision to grant amnesty to the Islamic fundamentalists was nothing but to legalize terrorism in Nigeria.
The President of AYF, Wuse Archdeaconry Council, Barrister Isaac Harrison stated this during a workshop organised for youth, with the theme; “Empowered To Impact The World”, in Abuja.
According to him, “We cannot grant amnesty to people we do not know, we cannot also grant amnesty to people who had already made up their minds that whether there is dialogue or not, they will go on with whatever they are doing, If Boko Haram actually need peace, they will not be killing those that are moving towards that peace.
“So, the Anglican Youth Fellowship members are not in support of the amnesty to Boko Haram.
“You should remember that some months ago, US listed Nigeria as a terrorist country, it was by the grace of God that we were able to release ourselves from that situation, so, if we grant amnesty to Boko Haram, it will means that Nigeria is a terrorist country, because we will be seen to be legalizing terrorism.”
