Borno State Government has reintegrated a total of 720 men, 992 spouses, and 2,050 children who had repented and surrendered to troops after many of them were deradicalised, disarmed, and rehabilitated at the Hajj Camp in Maiduguri and acquired various skill acquisition programmes.
These latest categories of repentant insurgents, who all swore on the Holy Quran, formed part of Batch 9 low-risk and minor clients who are to be reunited with their various communities across Borno State.
This was disclosed by the special adviser to Governor Babagana Zulum on security, who is also a member of the Deradicalisation, Rehabilitation and Reintegration of repentant insurgents, Brigadier General Abdullahi Ishaq (Rtd), at a colourful ceremony which took place at the Hajj Camp on Friday.
