The Federal Government may have commenced considering the criteria for
compensating members of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram,
particularly those who had suffered one form of injustice or the other.
Also
there were indications on Sunday that the government might be willing
to pay compensation to the sect's members "who were seen to have been
killed unjustly."
A very dependable source in the Presidency said that the Federal Government was not willing to miss
the opportunity for dialogue as offered by a man believed to be the
sect's second-in-command, Abu Mohammed Ibn Abdulaziz.
For this reason, he said, the government was willing to pay compensation, otherwise known as Diyya, to halt attacks by the sect.
He
said, "I can confirm to you that it is true that the group is currently
dialoguing with the government. The good news is that they are talking
and they have promised to cease fire once some of their demands are met.
