 abstract={This research examined the plethora of perceptions that victims of Boko Haram attacks have regarding amnesty granted to ex-Boko Haram terrorists with the aim of providing philosophical insights. In other words, this research was designed to unpack how the outcome of the Nigeria amnesty and reintegration program for repentant Boko Haram terrorists shape victims’ perception of justice and fairness. Understanding how victims of Boko Haram attack view justice and fair treatment holds significant importance for two reasons: it shapes victims' perceptions of Boko Haram terrorists and determines whether victims and reintegrated ex-Boko Haram terrorists can coexist peacefully in the aftermath of conflict. While numerous studies have explored the Nigeria amnesty program for former Boko Haram terrorists, victims’ perception of justice and fairness were understudied. To address this gap, this research utilized philosophical concepts of justice and fairness, specifically through normative ethical frameworks, to theoretically analyse these perceptions. The research utilized semi-structured interviews to gain insights into the experiences and perspectives of victims regarding justice and fair treatment based on their encounters with Boko Haram terrorists. 25 victims of a Boko Haram attack at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Borno State, Nigeria, willingly participated in the interview. The findings indicate that the majority feel that the outcome of the amnesty program failed to meet their expectations of justice and fairness. They perceived the process as being unfair. The research findings addressed ethical questions raised by the victims and navigated moral dilemmas in Nigeria amnesty proceedings. Additionally, the research provided empirical insights into the relationship between the Nigeria amnesty program and considerations of restorative justice, fairness, and reconciliation. Drawing from these findings, the research proposed recommendations suitable for both policymaking and guiding future research directions},
