Nigerian Lawmakers Oppose Terrorist Rehabilitation; US Congressman Raises Security Concerns

Nigerian lawmakers, particularly in the House of Representatives, have expressed opposition to the government's policy of rehabilitating and integrating terrorists, focusing on enhancing security architecture and addressing the root causes of insecurity. Hon. Bitrus Laor of the PDP cautioned against youth involvement in criminal activities and advocated for support systems for victims.

Hon. Dabo Haruna (Rep, Toro) of the APC highlighted the importance of strengthening community policing and border security. US Congressman Chris Smith observed discrepancies in Nigeria's security situation during a public hearing, urging for more engagement and accountability.

Despite agreements, Nigerian parliament is yet to fulfill commitments.
