Catholic Arch-bishop of Lagos, Alfred Adewale Martins, has cautioned the Federal Government against planned amnesty for Boko Haram insurgents, saying amnesty was not just about giving out money.
The Archbishop, who celebrated his 54th birthday in Lagos, said: “If there is money to be paid to Boko Haram insurgents, then the sect’s victims, as a matter of justice, must be compensated also.”
Archbishop Martins, who was hosted by the Grand Knights of Saint Mulumba, Lagos Metropolitan Council, said members of Boko Haram must first be identified and seen to be repentant, before the Federal Government could give amnesty to them.
Touching on other national issues, he wondered why Nigerians had reduced life to the level of exchange for money.
He called the recent baby factory discovered a national disgrace.
