₦airaland Forum

The Federal Government of Nigeria has introduced a new operational framework aimed at improving the reintegration of former terrorists and other individuals involved in armed violence across the country.

The National Coordinator of the National Counter Terrorism Centre, NCTC, Office of the National Security Adviser, Maj Gen Adamu Laka, made this known on Monday in Abuja at the National Validation Workshop on the Standard Operating Procedures, SOPs, for Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration, DDR, at the federal level and in the pilot states of Kaduna, Katsina and Zamfara.

Laka said the initiative is part of Nigeria’s broader efforts to tackle insecurity through non-military measures while supporting long-term peace and stability in conflict-affected communities.

He added that the procedures were designed to ensure a coordinated and effective implementation of the government’s DDR programme.

Laka further noted that the SOPs provide practical guidelines for institutions responsible for implementing the programme and are intended to strengthen accountability, transparency and collaboration among relevant agencies.

According to him, the Federal Government recognised the need for a more detailed operational structure beyond the existing policy framework.

Laka noted that the framework was developed after extensive consultations with stakeholders and was informed by Nigeria’s security realities as well as lessons drawn from international best practices.

The NCTC stressed that the procedures would clearly define the responsibilities of participating institutions, improve coordination among security and civilian agencies, and establish uniform standards for carrying out reintegration programmes across the country.

“Recognising that a policy framework alone is insufficient to guide implementation, the NCTC and its partners subsequently developed a comprehensive set of Standard Operating Procedures to translate the strategic objectives of the National DDR Framework into practical guidance for implementing institutions.

“These Standard Operating Procedures have been developed through extensive consultations and draw upon national experiences, international best practices, and the unique realities of the Nigerian context,” he said.

But Nnamdi kanu who didn't kill a soul with his own hands is in jail

Una see this tinubu government?

A responsible government will send terrorists to there maker. But there in Nigeria, tinubu pamper them, feed them and recruit them into the Nigerian army with tax payers money.


What a country

You can only have peace if you make the prospect of war hopeless.

This method won’t result in long lasting peace. It’ll only embolden more.

Send them to God for rehabilitation and forgiveness.

How would they know the gravity of their offense. People that are supposed to be rotting in jail

Anyways, it's those who are using them negotiating on their behalf

How can you integrate terrorist into society

This is what Peter Obi also promised to do to IPOB

What a pity

What a shame. Land of no justice.

By the time a party of ex-terrorists is formed to contest elections, even having a presidential candidate, FGs eye go clear

The hypocrisy of thesame people who believe NNAMDI KANU IS GUILTY!

APc must pamper terrorists

It's in their DNA

I thought they decided to stop this

But why are this people doing this to us?

All the people involved in this will never know any peace

Terrorists are not human beings and should never be integrated with humans

You should be telling that to Tinubu, later you people will say Tinubu is fighting terrorism...

These Tinubu government love terrorists too much..is this how Isreal and USA treat terrorists...it's a pity

former terrorist,what a word. notin stuuupib reach Nigeria government

Same government that planned Oyo students kidnap wants to give amnesty to same terrorists?
Babablu bulabu.

As long as you keep putting Northerners in senior security positions that has to do with terrorism and banditry, don't expect anything positive.

That has always been their goal, pampering terrorists...




APC, the evul and terrorists party

The only good former terrorist is a dead one 😡
become good by repenting in prison awaiting execution. 😡
After execution, we know it was executed a repentant one. 😡

America must hear this, is Donald Trump even aware of this?

ILoveNG:

The last time I checked, the south east is peaceful even with IPOB existing there, I can't say the same about the north with their repentant and non-repentant bandits/terrorists...

Who really do this stuppppeedddddd people, how can you reintegrate killas,.
The government will reintegrate terrorists and will still blame the opposition been responsible for the insecurity, very daft
So you mean to tell me that, the kidnappers of the Oyo school if eventually arrested, will be released and Reintegrated into our society, how will the victims feel about it.
I am ashamed of Tinibi, I won't be surprised if it is Buhari doing this but Tinubu, haba

I don't understand this government. You want to reintegrate ex terrorist?
Anyways, what do i know?

I'm very sure some sets of people are eating good money from this program.. that's why they can't close the program.

The president of Niger has said it. They know and have conclusive proof that our government supports terrorism. Is there anything like an ex-murderer? If no, how then can an ex-terrorist exists?

How does this government of blowhards and compromised individuals expect officers and men who have lost colleagues to these terrorists attacks to now turn around and train or reintegrate these killers back into civil society or even worse, serve alongside them?

This government is compromised! Simple.

GOD ABEG DID I OFFEND YOU TO PUT ME FOR THIS KIND COUNTRY..AM SEEING SOME URCHINS ABOVE SAYING ITS WHAT OBI PLANS TO DO WITH IPOB..JESU

These are the results of voting an incompetent president into power..it's a pity

SenecaTheYonger:
But why are this people doing this to us?

cus they know we only rant online ,within one week we adjust and forget

So when you say prime minister of Israel is a war criminal, has he killed with his own hands?

Think... Think.. Think.
Do you have the capacity to think?
Then you will understand.
