We attacked villages and killed people; when we left bush we were shown Islam doctrine—Ex-Boko Haram
A repentant Boko Haram terrorist has shared his regrets after leaving the group. He said he joined the group in 2020 and took part in attacks on many communities. He said they caused a lot of destruction and killed people but he deeply regrets those actions.
Speaking in a video shared by Daily Trust TV, the ex-Boko Haram man said the northern communities they attacked and destroyed had the resources to help the region grow, and if they had known better, they would not have destroyed the communities. He said after coming out of the bush he was taught the true teachings of Islam, which made him realize that what they were doing was wrong.
The man called on his former friends still in Boko Haram to stop fighting, saying that their actions are not in line with what God wants. He urged them to surrender and choose peace, just like he did, so they too can have a chance to live a better and more meaningful life.
In his words: "I joined the Boko Haram campaign in 2020, we attacked many communities and shed innocent blood. We regret everything we destroyed especially in the lake chad, if we knew we would not have done it because the communities have everything to take care of this region. But when we left the bush, we were revealed to the true doctrine of Islam. I want to tell my former friends that what they are doing is not the work of Allah, they should come out and embrace peace"
