The Chief of Defence Staff and Chairman of Operation Safe Corridor, General Abayomi Olonisakin on Saturday issued a red card to members of the outlawed Boko Haram and Islamic State of West Africa, ISWAP asking them to lay down their arms and embrace peace in their own interest.
“As these clients are being reintegrated, let me seize this opportunity to advise members of Boko Haram and Islamic State of West Africa Province, ISWAP, still lurking around in the bushes to lay down their arms, embrace peace and join the re-radicalization, rehabilitation and reintegration programme in their own interest.
“Today, we are witnessing a major achievement of the Federal government of Nigeria at ensuring lasting peace in the North East. Since the commencement of operation Safe Corridor in 2016, a total of 914 clients have undergone the deradicalisation, rehabilitation and reintegration programme. Among which 280 including two chadians have been successfully transferred to their Nationals and state authorities for reintegration.
Shafa said another one was withdrawn on disciplinary ground and transferred for re-categorization and prosecution.
