The Acting Director, Defence Information, Brig. Gen. Rabe Abubakar, confirmed on Wednesday that 800 of the insurgents surrendered to the troops of the Nigerian Army within the said period.
“I can confirm that about 800 of the Boko Haram members have surrendered to the military.”
Abubakar spoke with Punch barely 24 hours after the Defence Headquarters announced the establishment of a rehabilitation camp for repentant Boko Haram members.
He had said in a statement on Tuesday that the rehabilitation camp was being established under Operation Safe Corridor which was created as a platform to rehabilitate and integrate repentant terrorists.
He had said that the insurgents would be made to go through vocational training under the programme and empowered for reintegration into the society.
Also, gallant soldiers have rescued 11,595 captives of the Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East in the last one month.
