Amnesty still possible despite Boko Haram’s rejection-Sultan

By Olalekan Adetayo

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, on Monday said despite the reported rejection of amnesty by members of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, there was nothing impossible.

Abubakar spoke with State House correspondents shortly after leading other members of the 2012 Federal Government Hajj delegation to present their report to President Goodluck Jonathan.

He was asked for his reaction after the sect had rejected the amnesty, a gesture which he  clamoured for.

Abubakar who initially said he had no comment later simply said “There is nothing impossible in this world” when journalists pressed further.

His aides later whisked him away
