Surrendered Insurgents Won't Be Killed, They Will Undergo Rehabilitation- FG


The Federal Government yesterday said members of Boko Haram who had surrendered to military authorities would be rehabilitated before being reintegrated into the society. Coordinator of the National Information Centre (NIC) and Director General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Mr. Mike Omeri, said this at a briefing yesterday in Abuja.
He explained that the rehabilitation strategy, as contained in the counter-terrorism document launched by the government, would be strictly followed in handling the surrendered insurgents.
“Those terrorists, who surrendered their arms and embrace peace will undergo the process of de-radicalisation and rehabilitation, so that they will be admitted into society and given the opportunity to continue contributing their own quota to the development of this country.
“But for those who insist on carrying arms against their country, against their fellow citizens, they will have themselves to blame," Omeri said.
What do you think?
