No fewer than 8000 Boko Haram members have voluntarily surrendered to
the “Operation Safe Corridor’’ run by the Nigerian Army in the
North-East. This is according to the Director of Defence Information,
Brig.-Gen. Rabe Abubakar, who disclosed this at a lecture organized by
the FCT Correspondents’ Chapel of the National Union of Journalists
(NUJ).
Abubakar at the lecture said the surrendered
terrorists were being kept at a camp in Gombe where they would be
“deradicalised’’ by the military. He added that more than 10,000 Boko
Haram captives had been rescued by the military and that some of them
were reunited with their families while others were taken to Internally
Displaced Person’s (IDP) camps. He disclosed that the military would
soon launch “Operation Safe Corridor’’ to address the menace of herdsmen
across the country.
