Forty three Boko Haram insurgents who
recently surrendered to troops of Operation
Lafiya Dole were on Saturday air lifted to join
other surrendered insurgents in Gombe
where they are to immediately commence a
de-radicalization and rehabilitation
programme under the auspices of
Operation Safe Corridor.
Speaking while handing over the
surrendered insurgents to Operation Safe
Corridor, the Theatre Commander Operation
Lafiya Dole, Major General Ibrahim Attahiru
gave assurance that the penitent insurgents
will be given a new lease of life as they
commence their journey back into the civil
society through the de-radicalization and
rehabilitation processes.
He urged them further to embrace and
undertake the programme whole heartedly
to enable them benefit and positively
reorient their views about life and the
society in general.
It will be recalled that over 70 Boko Haram
insurgents had earlier in this month,
surrendered to troops of Operation Lafiya
Dole in the North East, thus, taking
advantage of the window of grace provided
by the Federal Government for insurgents
who are willing to give up terrorism and
turn a new leaf to surrender to any military
location closest to them.
General Attahiru called on all other
insurgents to abandon the futile struggle
and reject the hypocrisy of the Boko Haram
leadership who live in affluence, while their
foot soldiers die in hunger.
