The first set of 95 surrendered Boko Haram Fighters who have completed a component of Deradicalization, Rehabilitation and Reintegration (DRR) Programme would be reunited with their families.

Speaking at a stakeholders’ Meeting to Work out Modalities for the Reintegration of Rehabilitated Ex-Boko Haram Fighters, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin said the former fighters who were admitted into a DRR Camp in Gombe State had successfully gone through 16 weeks programme.

He said: “The ex-fighters have been transformed made to imbibe good characters and habits and have also learnt vocational trades to empower them

“The next stage of the programme, Reintegration is the most important and complex aspect of the DRR Programme. It requires painstaking planning and careful execution. Hence, the need for our gathering to work out modalities for the smooth transfer of the ex-fighters to their respective state authorities and eventually to their relations.”
