Following a report of some Boko Haram members who surrendered asking for forgiveness from Nigerians many have taken to social media to express their displeasure.

In a photo making rounds, some Boko Haram members who surrendered to the army troops held on a placard with the inscription "Nigerians please forgive us".

Reacting to this, former presidential spokesperson, Reno Omokri has added his voice. He demanded to know why they should be forgiven when President Buhari palns to prosecute Sunday Igboho for defending and protecting innocent civilians.

Omokri recalled the on his social media page the number of people killed during the #EndSars protest by the Buhari led-administration.

"The Buhari administration shared photos of so called repentant Boko Haram terrorists and asked Nigerians to forgive them. Does it make sense to ask Nigerians to forgive people who have killed innocent Nigerians when the Buhari government wants to prosecute Sunday Igboho for protecting the same innocent Nigerians?

Why should we forgive killers and prosecute defenders? Is it because these killers are Northern Muslims like Buhari and Igboho is not? I am not understanding! How many people has Buhari himself forgiven? Has he forgiven Dasuki? Buhari that killed innocent peaceful #EndSARS protesters at #LekkiMassacre?

They even bought provisions and drinks for them. Imagine! In fact, I doubt that that sign was written by these mostly illiterate Boko Haramists. Forgive who? Tufiakwa!"
