President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday
said contrary to the call by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad
Abubakar III, his administration would not grant members of the Islamist
militant group, Boko Haram amnesty.
Jonathan who spoke at a town hall
meeting held in Damaturu as part of activities earmarked for his state
visit to Yobe State said members of the sect could not be granted
amnesty for now because they remained faceless and have refused to
communicate with the government.
The Sultan of Sokoto had on Tuesday
asked President Goodluck Jonathan to grant members of the Islamist
militant group, Boko Haram , “total amnesty” for the sake of peace in
the country.
