Forty-three Boko Haram insurgents who recently surrendered
to troops of Operation Lafiya Dole were on Saturday air-lifted to join other
repentant insurgents in Gombe.
The former members will undergo a deradicalization and
rehabilitation programme under the auspices of Operation Safe Corridor.
Speaking while handing them over to Operation Safe Corridor,
Theatre Commander Operation Lafiya Dole, Major General Ibrahim Attahiru gave
assurance that the repentant insurgents “will be given a new lease of life”.
He urged them to, “embrace and undertake the programme whole
heartedly” to enable them benefit and positively reorient their views about the
society.
General Attahiru called on all other insurgents to abandon
their futile struggle and reject the hypocrisy of the Boko Haram leadership who
live in affluence, while their foot soldiers die in hunger.
Over 70 Boko Haram insurgents, in July, surrendered to
troops of Operation Lafiya Dole in the North East.
