The Emir of Zuru and\u00a0chairman of Zuru Emirate Council Muhammadu Sani Sami has urged the Federal Government to grant amnesty to the boko haram sect, in a bid to reduce insurgency in the northern region.<\/p>\n

The emir made this call in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Aminu Ladan Zuru, in Birnin Kebbi on Friday.<\/p>\n

In the statement, the emir said, “The late President Umaru Musa Yar\u2019adua decided to grant them amnesty in spite of opposition from various quarters, the moment the amnesty became a reality, the Niger Delta militants emerged and showed interest to give up their fight for an amicable settlement\u201d.<\/p>\n

The killings and destruction of the Boko Haram insurgency in the north have continued to place the country on a security alert.
The emir urged the Federal Government to look into the issue with a view to tempering justice with mercy and not to mind the few who, according to him are making money out of the crisis.<\/p>\n
