ABUJA (Sundiata Post) – The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has established rehabilitation camp for repentant Boko Haram members in an exercise known as Operation Safe Corridor.
The Director of Defence Information (DDI), Brig-Gen. Rabe Abubakar, in a statement on Tuesday, said the main focus of Operation Safe Corridor, is geared towards rehabilitating and reintegrating the repentant and the surrendering Boko Haram members back into normal life in the society.
According to Abubakar, the repentant terrorists in the camp would be taken through various vocational training so that they could be useful to themselves and be empowered to contribute meaningfully to the economic growth of their fatherland.
The DHQ therefore “wishes to appeal to other recalcitrant terrorist members that are still carrying arms against their fellow citizens in our nation to repent today and benefit from numerous opportunities offered by the camp.
“The DHQ wishes to state further that the final onslaught against the remnant group of the terrorists would continue unabated and would not relent until the power of evil forces in the North East is completely neutralised,” he said.
The Defence spokesman further warned the “reluctant Boko Haram members” to see wisdom in surrendering now, and save themselves from imminent calamity that is about to fall on them, in the event of military mop-up if they continue in their unwholesome acts.
He further urged members of the public to be extra vigilant and report any unusual persons, objects and movement to the security agencies.
