The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) yesterday announced the establishment of a rehabilitation camp for repentant Boko Haram members under an exercise known as Operation Safe Corridor.
Defence spokesman, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, said in a statement yesterday that the camp’s establishment was in furtherance of government’s efforts to rehabilitate and reintegrate surrendered and repentant Boko Haram members.

“The main focus of Operation Safe Corridor is geared towards rehabilitating and reintegrating the repentant and the surrendering Boko Haram members back into normal life in the society,” General Abubakar said.
He added: “The repentant terrorists in the camp will be taken through various vocational trainings so that they can be useful to themselves and be empowered to contribute meaningfully to the economic growth of their fatherland.”
Abubakar said the Defence Headquarters appealed to militants who are still carrying arms against their fellow citizens to repent and benefit from the numerous opportunities offered by the camp.
He added that the military’s final onslaught against the remnants of the Boko Haram group would continue unabated until they are completely neutralized.
“The reluctant Boko Haram members should therefore see wisdom in surrendering now, thereby saving themselves from the imminent calamity that is about to fall on them in the event of the military mop-up if they continue in their unwholesome acts,” he said
