Yobe State Government says plans to reintegrate 54 former Boko Haram members who have completed the De-radicalisation, Rehabilitation, and Reintegration (DRR) program under Operation Safe Corridor (OPSC), have been concluded.
Governor Mai Mala Buni announced the plan while receiving a delegation from OPSC, led by the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, in Damaturu.
Represented by his Deputy, Idi Barde Gubana, Governor Buni described the visit as an opportunity for strategic engagement and collaboration between the state and security forces.
He noted the devastating impact of the 15-year insurgency, which resulted in thousands of deaths, widespread destruction of property, and mass displacement.
Governor Buni stated that the Yobe State Government recognizes that not all members of the terrorist group joined willingly and believes that a non-kinetic approach offers a chance to rehabilitate and reintegrate those who show remorse.
