FG will determine compensation for Boko Haram vctims – Committee

The Presidential Committee on Dialogue and peaceful resolution of security challenges in the north has said the Federal Government would soon determine if Boko Haram Victims are to be compensated.

The committee made this known in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday and signed by the Secretary to the Committee, Engr. Esther Gonda.

The committee said contrary to some media reports, it never ruled out any form of compensation for victims of the Boko Haram insurgency.

The statement said what the chairman of the committee, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki said was that the committee was to look into the issue of victims’ support and not to cancel compensation for them.
