NIGERIAN MILITARY NOT RECRUITING BOKO HARAM EX FIGHTERS

The Defence Headquarters has been notified of false information peddled in some online media, insinuating that deradicalized Boko Haram ex- fighters are being absorbed into the Nigerian military.

One of such insinuations is contained in a trending video footage published by Roots TV, where one Balhatu Musa Ezekiel claimed the Nigeria Army had recruited de-redicalized Boko Haram Ex-fighters into the Army and was therefore recycling insurgency.

The Defence Headquarters wishes to unambiguously state that Balhatu's claims are not only bereft of truth, but laced with mediocrity emanating from poorly researched and uninformed position. Contrary to his claims, no Boko Haram ex- fighter has been recruited into the Nigerian military and no such plan is in the offing. The de-radicalization, rehabilitation and reintegration program is a Federal Government program conducted under the auspices of Operation Safe Corridor as a non- kinetic operation.

Nigeria's De-radicalization model is a very effective one, targeted at low risk combatants and has become a classical example in the Lake Chad Basin Region and West Africa. Over 250 repentant insurgents who willingly abandoned their struggle and surrendered to federal troops have been de-radicalized, rehabilitated and re-integrated into the society by their respective state governments in conjunction with traditional and religious institutions. Nigeria's De-radicalization model is therefore not new in the global community, as such model exists in Algeria, Colombia, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, where persons involved in violent extremism have been de-radicalized and rehabilitated. This process is therefore an internationally acceptable practice now.

So far in Nigeria, the de-radicalized ex-fighters are doing well in their respective communities, as no adverse report has been recorded against the de-radicalized repentant ex fighters by Operation Safe Corridor's monitoring unit.

There has not been report of molestation or harassment of any sort against them by members of the communities, where they are resettled. As a matter of verifiable fact, the reintegrated ex- fighters are doing well in their various endeavours and are positively impacting on their respective communities. It is also expedient to state, that the Federal Government of Nigeria has continued to prosecute BHT/ISWAP suspects in courts of competent jurisdiction and over 500 terrorists have so far been convicted.

Meanwhile, the next round of prosecution of another batch of terrorism suspects is due to commence shortly. Members of the public are therefore enjoined to please discountenance the misinformation and misguided views peddled by Balhatu Musa Ezekiel, as it constitutes outright aberration of extant recruitment procedures and practice of the Armed Forces of Nigeria. The Defence Headquarters reiterates its commitment to ensuring a well motivated, trained and equipped Armed Forces that is professionally responsive to national security commitments.

Nigerian Military Not Recruiting Boko Haram Ex-Fighters - DHQ

Lies from the pit of hell

Otilo una don cast since. My worry is that they are denying everything to cover up there tracks. If trump is smart enough he should never trust the government and the army.

Paid to speak out! No be everything you hears online, u must blived

We have ex military guys coming out to tell us they are now colleagues with people they fought against and people that killed their fellow soldiers

Can you grant amnesty if soldiers come off and say the truth? 3 days amnesty only

yes, you are only rehabilitating them and enlisting them.....

Leave all these talk, Our military has been compromised

I know a friend who is a soldier and he said Nigerian soldiers are capable and rugged to clear these bandits in a month but they have lots of spy and snitches amongst them.

some soldiers have even come online to speak about it. Their plans on bandits are being sold out and they end up walking into an ambush.

We have 54 fully recognized and independent countries in Africa and Nigeria military is among the top 3 in the whole of Africa

"Nigeria's De-radicalization model is a very effective one"..100% Falsehood

But they form part of what's known as the Civilian JTF

u are lying .... one of u even said terrorist can bcome president of the country

These people have nothing to tell us

It is well

And you are rehabilitated and deradicalizing killers?

If they deny anything ur guess is as good as mine

God help Nigeria. This wahala too much.

It's sad to share same country with all these killers:

Boko Haram
ISWAP
Lakurawa
IPOB
ESN
ISIS
Killer Herdsmen
etc.

Everything is possible in nigeria....now tell me how all these bandits r waxing so strong and bold.

Some Nigerians say, once you hear government don dey counter wetin don dey online just know say that thing wey dem dey counter get pass mark for truth wey dey inside.

Abandoned their "struggle"!!!! Really!!!!!!!!

What were they "struggling" for? Independence? State of ISWAP?

All lies from the defense headquarters... Its public knowledge that the so-called repentant terrorists have been absorbed into the Nigerian Army.

When is Tinubu declaring state of emergency in the north like he declared in Rivers state where no one was killed or kidnapped

All tinubu cares about is politics and looting, he cares less if 99% of Nigerians are murdered today as long his political ambitions are not impacted

Once they deny it then it's true. Very anyhow government

LORDLARGE:
But they form part of what's known as the Civilian JTF

Boko Haram fears Civilian JTF more than soldiers.
Civilian JTF doesn't arrest. They shoot.

Ok, you're not absorbing them into the military but if a "rehabilitated" Boko haram member picks an army recruitment form tomorrow, what stops him from joining the army?

One way or the other, the Boko Haram rehabilitation is a shot in the foot. The military failed woefully. Eliminating them is the only sensible option.

Maybe he meant they've stopped hiring repentant terrorists

And you said they are positively impacting on their respective communities.
Not in a million years have you guys relayed any evidence of such....

Nigerian government and military has shown they cannot be trusted

The fundamental question remains unsolved! Why is Nigerian government and military not attacking Boko haram and kidnappers??

Let me nit say my mind for NOW.

Well, it's kind of impossible to recurit ex bokoists too

Typical ex bokoist is likely to be illiterate, even to the point of not being able to write in awusa. So, bad soldier

Army is also not made up of jokes. They know the bokoist is also likely to be an intelligence threat..so..,

Finally, army recuritment is by quota per state, so no way a legit recruit from Borno is going to give up his space to a boko guy, or if boko guys were being recruited, they would upset the quota balances, with the resultant palaver (If you think federal character commision is just a joke, wait till you are in a position to interact with them).


Though, during the Zimbabwean war of independence, the then white minority government did have a special force known as the Selous Scouts (nominally under the police, in reality, millitary) that included a lot of ex-freedom fighters.(back in the 1970's). Scouts were quite effective compared to other units including the supposedly good, all white Rhodesian light infantry.

But never did believe the bokoists were being recurited in the army....unless in special forces (as intelligence assets...see selous scouts above).

are U kidding me, what of those one's recruited during Buhari Regime?

Liars from pit of hell. Una madness go enter market soon

Believe this, you will believe everything.

How does he know who is BK from who is not? If he knows then he should go out ..find them and eliminate them ...we shouldn't be having this problem .

So why are the soldiers missing from camp without any trace and someone in Benue cliamied they saw a military idcard on one of the terrorists that attacked in Benue

WHICH KIND TAQIYYA COME BE THIS ONE?






TAQIYYA!
