Repentant Boko Haram members are not absorbed into army - Presidency - Edoman - 08-05-2020 Repentant Boko Haram members are not absorbed into army - Presidency The Presidency has countered claims of repentant Boko Haram members being absorbed into the Nigerian Army. In a statement released by President Buhari's spokesperson Garba Shehu today August 5, it was emphatically stated that the de-radicalization, rehabilitation and reintegration of violent extremists of the Buhari administration code named “Operation Safe Corridor,” follows an established example from countries with similar experiences, and is supported academically and materially by the European Union and the United Nations. The Presidency further stated that the programme does not have a place for hard boiled, ideologically hardened terrorists. It only admits, after careful scrutiny, repentant fighters that were captured and forced to bear arms in the first instance, and there are many who have been drafted by force. It reads; Quote:Now that groups with hitherto proven bona fides, some religious leaders and a few in the legislature have joined the supply chain of fake news, it important that we step in to clear the false reports that the administration is absorbing repentant Boko Haram terrorists into the military. |
