117 repentant terrorists complete rehabilitation programme

No fewer than 117 repentant terrorists from Borno State have completed the Disarmament, Rehabilitation and Reintegration programme under Operation Safe Corridor, as the initiative expands to the North West.

This is, as the Benue State Government has requested, the establishment of a DRR camp in the North Central region.

A statement issued on Thursday by the Director of Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Samaila Uba said the graduation was disclosed at a high-level stakeholders’ meeting convened by Defence Headquarters at the Nigerian Army Resource Centre to finalise modalities for transferring rehabilitated clients to national and state authorities for reintegration.

The Coordinator of Operation Safe Corridor, Brig. Gen. Y. Ali said the 117 graduates completed the DRR process at Mallam Sidi Camp in Borno State.

He described the development as a reflection of improved coordination between federal and state authorities on reception, monitoring and community reintegration.

The statement read in part, “Providing operational updates, the Coordinator disclosed that 117 clients from Borno State have successfully completed the DRR process at Mallam Sidi Camp, reflecting strengthened federal–state harmonisation in reception, monitoring and community reintegration.

“He also highlighted the expansion of OPSC to the North West, where a DRR camp established in February last year marked a significant stabilisation milestone. Ongoing engagements with Zamfara State aim to recalibrate the facility toward a comprehensive Victim Healing, Rehabilitation and Reintegration framework, integrating psychosocial recovery, community reconciliation, livelihood support and structured monitoring.”

In the North Central region, Ali disclosed that Benue State had formally requested the establishment of a DRR camp. He added that Defence Headquarters had assessed proposed sites and advised alignment with national infrastructure, security and sustainability standards before approval.

Participants at the meeting included representatives of federal ministries, the Office of the National Security Adviser, state governments, and neighbouring countries—Burkina Faso, Chad, Niger and Cameroon—as well as international partners such as the International Committee of the Red Cross and the International Organization for Migration, alongside Norway, the United Kingdom, the European Union and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

Delivering the keynote address, the Chief of Defence Staff and Chairman of the OPSC National Steering Committee, Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, represented by the Chief of Defence Operations, Maj. Gen. Jamal Abdusalam said Operation Safe Corridor remained a key component of Nigeria’s security architecture.

He noted that while kinetic operations created space for stability, structured rehabilitation and reintegration were essential to sustain security gains and prevent a return to violence.

Nigeria’s counter-insurgency strategy combines military operations with the rehabilitation of surrendered fighters through Operation Safe Corridor, launched in 2016 to support disarmament, deradicalisation and reintegration. The programme is now being expanded beyond the North East as more states affected by insurgency and banditry seek DRR camps to support stabilisation and recovery efforts.

fuckJones:
Kanu is a a leader of a deadly terrorists group

loveth360:
Nigeria is not for Igbos, that's why we want a Separate country.

They release known terrorists, but tag a freedom fighter terrorist and jail him for life.


You will still see unfortunate people that will defend this.





God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

This is why Nigeria can never make any genuine progress... Many Nigerians like to lie to themselves knowing fully well that there is no unity, that Nigeria as a divisive entity can not work for their benefit. They know fully well that there is no way terrorism can end when those in government support it.... Yet they choose to live in denial that somehow those behind this evil government will grant them a free and fair election to vote them out....

Fernandeswagger:
Imagine what the govt can do.

No matter how anyone wants to spin this, it's just wrong!

What about the families of the people these so called repentant terrorist killed? How do they get justice?

Something is horribly wrong.

You will still see unfortunate people that will defend this. Stop crying . No one put Kanu in prison but himself and you his praise singers. He failed to value his Freedom than Egos and hatred he has in mind . But unfortunately many of you did nothing to save him than these your media ranting. No protest ,no bargain and any other step that can move him out of trouble than to add with his problem with your bad mouthing and support of negativities that will still land him in more problems.





God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

garykoeman:
Has nnamdi kanu repented.

Did he ask for forgiveness from those he contributed to their demise and destruction.

Even in court he was busy raising his voice and abusing everyone.

Kanu should seek forgiveness and drop his agitation.

Then maybe he can be considered.

Since majority of Nigerians folded their arms and did nothing to push for mandatory real-time electronic transmission of election results to be included in the recent electoral reform law, I've refrained from making any new posts lately having realised that Nigerians are not tired of Tinubu. The new bill passed in to law will only ensure a massive victory for Tinubu and APC over 2027 rigged election.... I decided to make this post for the sake of posterity to serve as a record to all those pretending to be naive towards the brutal injustice that Nigeria as a divisive entity breeds.... To the usual biased commentators who flood every post about Nnamdi Kanu, condemning him as a terrorist that deserves to be in jail even when he is not, will see this post and pretend not to accept the reality that the government they so cherish and love to defend on this platform is a terrorist enabler/facilitator.... An evil government that continues to pamper mass killers (Fulani Terrotists) in the name of rehabilitation while igbo freedom fighters like Nnamdi Kanu are illegally sentenced by criminal compromised judges like Justice Omotosho and jailed on trumped up terrorism charges....

Below is latest news as posted today by Punch Newspaper stating what your terrorist loving government is doing to end insecurity by freeing 100s of real deadly terrorists back into society to continue from where they stopped....

truthera:
Read what you wrote and see if it makes sense. I feel pity reading comments like yours praising injustice and normalising terrorism....
