The Nigerian Army on Wednesday graduated 152 ex-insurgents undergoing 12 months de-radicalisation training in Gombe State, Native Reporters learnt.

Martins said the programme was a clear attestation to the Federal Government’s action against using combat in depleting the manpower of Boko Haram.

He said the programme would enhance the acceptance of the clients in the society having been subjected to several vocational pieces of training that would make them more useful and self-reliant.

“The Federal Government is using this programme to cut the abilities of the sect to recruit more members and also ensure defection into the programme by other insurgents.

“By the time this is achieved, the government will be able to reduce the numbers of free hands the sect recruits to fight it.

“Based on the assessment, the programme has done a lot in reforming the fighters against the government.

“The programme has achieved more compared to other similar programmes in Somalia and Saudi Arabia, where de-radicalization programmes are being implemented. There are no records of de-radicalized members going back to the sect,” he said.

Martins said the government was employing other non-combat approaches to fight the insurgents.

The programme coordinator said with sustained efforts and partnership with international organizations, the end of Boko Haram was in sight.

Mr. Abba Umar, a member of Bama Community, commended the federal government and the Army for the love shown to their brothers.

“We are happy that the federal government is doing this. If not that we are here, it will be difficult to believe what we have seen. We are satisfied with everything here.

“We thank the government for the rehabilitation and vocational training that will make them breadwinners after leaving the camp.”

Mr. Zanna Yakubu, who spoke on behalf of Bama Community, commended the federal government for equipping the ex-insurgents with the skills to be self-reliant.

Yakubu said the training would help in debunking criticisms in the foreign media on government’s efforts to end the insurgency in the country.

Mohammed Modu, a graduate of the programme, lauded the government’s efforts in rehabilitating the ex-insurgents.

He said he was going back to the society as a repentant Boko Haram member, adding that he would tell people how good the government had been to them while in camp.

Modu said one of the problems of the insurgency was that many youths do not trust the government, adding that this had made it easy for the sect to lure them into its den.

He stressed that with the love demonstrated by the government during the training, no one would be able to deceive him again.

Are you kidding me?

Nigeria my country!

Where is the justice for those that were burned alive, killed in cold blood, kids that were maimed, soldiers that were killed and families that lost their loved ones and properties n this war?

So Nigerian army recruit boko harams and cry about moles in the army.

Naija I hail o!

After graduation, were they drafted to join the Army?

Since SARS also undergo intensive training why they not deploy them to face boko haram.

Na so

JubrinElSudan:
After graduation, were they drafted to join the Army?

Of course.

In 20 to 30 years, those guys would be in charge of commanding positions in the army. They will be in charge of the armoury. They will execute jihad with state resources.

They've been reformed in the eyes of the gullible but I can tell you that these guys still very much hold tight to their ideology.

Buhari and his co-jihadists have discovered it won't be easy to execute brutal jihad on Nigeria due to our diversity and they've resorted to going systemic about it.

My pain is so many southerners are useful idiots to this administration and cheering them on.

Just imagine over 100 terrorists in the army. And this is like first batch o. More are still to come.

We need to wake up.

This can only happen when the Chairman /CEO of Boko haram is the same man in charge of the Aso villa Seat of power.

Them don infiltrate Nigerian Army like this ooo. And foolish Nigerian Army no get sense. Chai

With this following points of mine Nigeria is finished!

This is country is a fvcking joke

IPOB is a terrorist group indeed

APC government from 2014 have been sympathetic to Boko ...

This Buhari government..is not hiding this fact..the government have been supportive...in both cash n kind..

Terrorist already teainned and brain washed is given legal amesty..their sins are washed and they're new creature with same terrorist mind set..

While the hardcore ..are giving back to Boko organization as ransome...with heavy funding for more heavy equipment to deal with the Nigerian army..
the generals ask for funding to keep buying never arrival..never used weapons ..as excuse to siphoned billions

Boko have come to stay...APC administration will entrenched it as part of Nigeria problems that any government will see it as money milking avenue..which everyone in the north benefits from..except those that are dead.

Whichever way..it must be restricted to the north..
Any agenda to bring it down south..makes every northerner liable ...and potential Boko..

ShenTeh:
Are you kidding me?
