The Nigerian Military says 603 repentant Boko Haram terrorists who have been rehabilitated will be re-integrated into the society in June, as more fighters surrender.

The military also said 280 repentant terrorists, 25 of which were repatriated to Niger Republic, have so far been re-integrated under the De-radicalization, Rehabilitation and Reintegration programme of Operation Safe Corridor.

John Enenche, Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Defence Headquarters , who disclosed this on Friday, also said that 72 family members of Boko Haram and ISWAP comprising 33 women and 39 children, were dropped off by the terrorists at the entrance of Ngala town in Ngala Local Government Area of Borno State on 10 May 2020 around 8.30pm, who are all now in custody of troops for further action.

The coordinator therefore urged other fighters to come out of the bush/hideouts to surrender.

“The military High Command is using this medium to request parents, traditional rulers, community, opinion and religious leaders to urge their wards and children not to succumb to inducements by the BHT/ISWAP for recruitment into their fold because the temporarily surviving terrorists are now in dire need of fighters,” he said.

Enenche further disclosed that eleven ISWAP fighters surrendered to troops of Operation Lafiya Dole in Adamawa State. The repentant insurgents are being profiled for further action. He said there are indications that more terrorists will surrender.

He said a total of 61 BHT/ISWAP Terrorists and 3 suicide bombers were killed by troops of operation Lafiya Dole in the last week in Borno and Adamawa states, aside from those that escaped with gunshot wounds with narrow chances of survival.

Similarly, Enenche said the troops of Operation Whirl Stroke, on 12 May 2020, while responding to a distress call on suspected armed herdsmen infiltration at Agasha in Guma Local Government Area of Benue State neutralized 4 assailants.

According to him, the troops recovered 2 AK-47 rifles, 4 magazines and 65 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition from them.

“The High Command wishes to thank the general public for their support and solicits for their cooperation towards providing credible and timely information that will facilitate proactive engagements in our operations,” he said.

What did you people expect before?

Why telling us about the families that were dropped to distract us from your releasing murderers

God will judge all of you.

You're fighting terrorists and same time granting them amnesty.Nigeria should not be confused.The commander of the army is the same as that of BH terrorists.

Really

Widows of slain military officers and soldiers particularly those fighting the war against terrorism have protested the continuous release of murderous Boko Haram terrorists on the grounds that they have repented.Wants them punished like other criminals

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/01/widows-of-soldiers-protest-release-of-repentant-boko-haram-terrorists/

These are the beleaguered spouses of our armed forces that are even trying to speak to the sensibility of the leadership of this nation but they just refused to listen.

The Buhari govt is still recruiting for Bokoharam because that's what this is ¡!!!!! You see why Idris Derby told his men not to release captured Bokoharam fighters to Nigerian Army

The only repentant terrorist is a dead one. STOP FEEDING THEM WITH BOTTLE WATER & CHICKEN.


Nigerian military should go to Chad on courses of how to handle terrorists.



Please stop releasing this people, we have being at this shyt for almost a decade now. Haba!

Nigeria is cursed....

Releasing murderers and rewarding them for a job well done....

Any supporter of this administration will never make heaven

God will punish this administration and it sympathizers. They will reintegrate terrorists, but kill unarmed protesters

Reintegration likely to be followed with a foreign scholarship.

What a forgiving and benevolent Government we have.

If we rightly say boko haram is Buhari and Buhari is boko haram,monsurudeen them go begin foam for mouth.
Na wa ooo

Smh: what a country.
Igbos and militants who are agitating for fairness are sent to prison and killed. Yahoo boys who try to survive get sent to prison and shamed. Imagine how those young men are paraded, and treated far worse than drug dealers and terrorists.
Yet Bokoharam, terrorists who kill, raped, maim, turned millions of northwest to IDPs and refugees are going to be rewarded and treated like angels.

Just like many have posted: those who merged the South with the North; and those who are still supporting this regime; your hell will keep getting hotter till eternity

Re integrate Yahoo boys too

If they can reintegrate Boko haram members, then they should as well reintegrate rapists, murderers, armed robbers and kidnappers because the boko haram members are perpetuators of the above listed crimes.

BOKOHARAM IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE LIABLE TO CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. THEIR RELEASE OUGHT TO BE AUTHORIZED NOT ONLY BY THE LEGISLATURE BUT ALSO BY A REFERENDUM OF THE 36 STATES. BOKOHARAM IS AN ENEMY ALIEN AND NIGERIA MUST NOT HANDLE IT WITH KID GLOVES. WE ARE A DEMOCRACY. WE ARE NOT RUNNING MARSHAL LAW. BUHARI IS THE PRESIDENT NOT BURAITAI AND BUHARI MUST OBEY THE RULE OF LAW.

We the contributions from nairaland zom.bies to explain how a deadly person can be integrated into the society, while unarmed individuals are rottening in jail?

there are animals you don't just domesticate the day they are hungry the be become wild


Nigeria would fustrate them back into the camps of the enemy .....and we are back where we started
Nigeria one step forward 10 backwards

You people should continue ... while some innocent people are languishing in jail, you want to give those blood thirsty monsters pardon. Nigerian is an opposite of organized country

Southern Nigerians ,una see your life,they use you against yourself and weaponize their own miscreants.

Sunni Terrorist regimes don't fight sunni terrorist groups. They treat each other like brothers.
ONE NIGERIA IS DEAD!

Another poor decision from federal goverment. We've seen armed robbers who spent years in prison and returned to robery after getting freedom. How sure is FG that those terrosrists won't return to their old evil ways after receiving amnesty and pardon? You have no reason giving amnesty to Boko haram especialy when their victms are still langushing in different IDP camps across the country. This is the kind of news that makes you believe the govt is sympathetic to Terrorists.

And released for some to go continue abi?

What happened to prison sentence or even death for murderers?

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN AND TO SUPREME COURT:

BOKOHARAM IS A CONSPIRACY, A TREACHERY AND S HIGH LEVEL CRIMINAL OFFENCE AGAINST NIGERIA.

IT IS WRONG, AFTER CAPTURING THEM, TO TRAIN THEM AND NOW TRYING TO RELEASE AND DISTRIBUTE THEM TO OTHER STATES OF THE FEDERATION WITHOUT REFERENDUM FROM THE 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES AUTHORIZING THEIR DISTRBUTION

AND A LEGISLATIVE LAW TO TRAIN AND RELEASE THEM IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.

NIGERIA IS A DEMOCRACY. IT IS NOT A MARSHALL LAW ENTITY.

Nigerian government keeps forgetting that a terrorist can never quit terrorism until he is 6feet below.
Well, whatever suits them.

What the fvck is a repented terrorist?? These are the saboteurs making a mockery of the war against terror in Nigeria.

This country is a joke.

You will not see the fish seller comments in this kind of news.....,if it was about corruption in PDP, he will be the first guy to comment........

No oooo. That is Marshal law. It is unconstitutional. It is RIFA-RUGA, ISLAMISATION, FULANISATION AND ANARCHY.
