EMIR OF KANO'S PALACE TARGETED AGAIN BY BOKO HARAM DESPITE GOVERNMENT'S AMNESTY OFFER


Two suspected Boko Haram members attempted to bomb the palace of the Emir of Kano. One suspect was  lynched by the mob and killed (pictured above) while the other was rescued by members of the Military Joint task force that stormed the venue. Coming on the heels of the call by the Sultan of Sokoto that the Federal government should release all Boko Haram members in government custody as part of the amnesty bonanza that the Northern Elites are asking for Boko  Haram,i wonder why the Kano indigenes did not extend such amnesty to the Boko Haram suicide bombers when they arrested them. At least some Northern Leaders have told us in the past that Boko Haram are freedom fighters and now they want the Federal government amnesty for them. So does it mean,there is no amnesty if you attack the palace of a Northern monarch? Is that why one of the Boko Haram bombers that attacked the Emir of Kano's palace was not granted amnesty by the crowd that apprehended him? But Government should give you  amnesty if you blow up unarmed women ,children and churches.
