The Nigerian Army on Wednesday graduated 152 ex-insurgents undergoing 12 months de-radicalisation training in Gombe State, Native Reporters learnt.

Martins said the programme was a clear attestation to the Federal Government’s action against using combat in depleting the manpower of Boko Haram.

He said the programme would enhance the acceptance of the clients in the society having been subjected to several vocational pieces of training that would make them more useful and self-reliant.

“The Federal Government is using this programme to cut the abilities of the sect to recruit more members and also ensure defection into the programme by other insurgents.

“By the time this is achieved, the government will be able to reduce the numbers of free hands the sect recruits to fight it.

“Based on the assessment, the programme has done a lot in reforming the fighters against the government.

“The programme has achieved more compared to other similar programmes in Somalia and Saudi Arabia, where de-radicalization programmes are being implemented. There are no records of de-radicalized members going back to the sect,” he said.

Martins said the government was employing other non-combat approaches to fight the insurgents.

The programme coordinator said with sustained efforts and partnership with international organizations, the end of Boko Haram was in sight.

Mr. Abba Umar, a member of Bama Community, commended the federal government and the Army for the love shown to their brothers.

“We are happy that the federal government is doing this. If not that we are here, it will be difficult to believe what we have seen. We are satisfied with everything here.

“We thank the government for the rehabilitation and vocational training that will make them breadwinners after leaving the camp.”

Mr. Zanna Yakubu, who spoke on behalf of Bama Community, commended the federal government for equipping the ex-insurgents with the skills to be self-reliant.

Yakubu said the training would help in debunking criticisms in the foreign media on government’s efforts to end the insurgency in the country.

Mohammed Modu, a graduate of the programme, lauded the government’s efforts in rehabilitating the ex-insurgents.

He said he was going back to the society as a repentant Boko Haram member, adding that he would tell people how good the government had been to them while in camp.

Modu said one of the problems of the insurgency was that many youths do not trust the government, adding that this had made it easy for the sect to lure them into its den.

He stressed that with the love demonstrated by the government during the training, no one would be able to deceive him again.

Nigeria my country!

Where is the justice for those that were burned alive, killed in cold blood, kids that were maimed, soldiers that were killed and families that lost their lost ones and properties n this war?

So Nigerian army recruit boko harams and cry about moles in the army.

Naija I hail o!

I hardly respond to posts like this...but most of these ex-terrorists are going back to civilian life.

If this is how PDP wants to campaign for 2023....by scare tactics...then I am sorry for them

Grow up. And stop spreading lies.

JubrinElSudan:
After graduation, were they drafted to join the Army?

Awol1:
So it seems until you discover we are not being told all the truth.

Wizygreat12:
wish myself a day soft as silk.. white as milk.. sweet as honey&full of money. may all my dreams come true.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY To MySelf....My Pple show me ❤is my Day

Awol1:
Of course.

In 20 to 30 years, those guys would be in charge of commanding positions in the army. They will be in charge of the armoury. They will execute jihad with state resources.

They've been reformed in the eyes of the gullible but I can tell you that these guys still very much hold tight to their ideology.

Buhari and his co-jihadists have discovered it won't be easy to execute brutal jihad on Nigeria due to our diversity and they've resorted to going systemic about it.

My pain is so many southerners are useful idiots to this administration and cheering them on.

Just imagine over 100 terrorists in the army. And this is like first batch o. More are still to come.

We need to wake up.

IgbosNIGHTMARE:
lol


ISSOKAY



It's all the same game. Afterall, they give amnesties to thieves and MILITANTS too. One is currently running his masters program in my department. The guy na big noise maker.

gbosaa:
An idol mind is the devil’s workshop. The military simply discovered that its best to train these people and provide job for them to distract their vulnerable minds from the Biko ideology....sadly the vacuum they created will be taken by other jobless people/almajiris.

Job creation and employment would prevent a lot of evil we see in the society. Lots of people are frustrated and see the recruiters and other evil minded people as god sent.

I still don’t think they were recruited into the Nigerian military.

If we had done the same thing to Niger Delta millitants...whose activities were making Nigerians suffer...both in terms of finances and worsening the environmental situation...we would have never seen an end to the crisis in the Delta. We did amnesty.

How about Liberia. Many men and boys who were in the fighting, who were involved in brutal murder and rape, and pillage...were rehabilitated, given some dollars and a radio and released back in to the civilian life...Shouldunt they have been dealt with?

The sad thing about planet Earth is that nothing is black and white. Many of them Bokists were press ganged into their army.

Who knows...many of them have prolly provided useful intelligence to our Army.

josielewa:
I[s] swear u be mumu..How can you compare boko haram to niger delta boys...The nigerdelta are fighting a just cause but can you pls explain to me what boko boys are fighting for...And to u all comparing boko haram to nigerdelta boys, i can only say YOU ALL ARE VERY VERY MAD....I rest my case[/s]

tactius:
You are a rude and disgusting child

I made my point without insulting you or anyone else. Why can't you do the same.

Grow up, and be more respectful to your elders.And behave yourself.

And the next time you insult me, I will report you.

kayroc:
I have monitored your comments on this thread and I am curious. What is your opinion about how China is using mass imprisonmemt to counter extreme Islamic ideology in the Muslim region of China?

tactius:
I have no opinion, but ultimately, it would backfire...not now, in the future.

The issue in Xinjiang is not just religious, there is a separatist movement there, and there are tribal issues there (Han Chinese moving in and displacing natives).

Then there are the Wahabists, but in the minority

Anyway, I don't have the answer to that situation.I just hope the CHinese too don't try to impose their culture and atheism on the population.

At any rate, if people are kept busy, if there is less corruption and opression, no one is going to join any extremist.

Celebsnews:
Hmmmm... Extremist are unrepentant O. Nigeria Army be warned.

Meanwhile, Funke Akindele and husband JJC go head on in a dance battle to celebrate husbands 42 Birthday. Watch the party below
