Over 1900 Repentant Boko Haram Terrorists Released Back Into Communities – Nigerian Defence Headquarters

The Nigerian Defence Headquarters, Abuja, has stated that no fewer than 1935 repentant Boko Haram terrorists were released from the Bulumkutu camp in Borno State back into the Nigerian society between 2016 and 2022 after undergoing deradicalisation.

The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Christopher Musa, made this known in Abuja on Monday when he delivered a lecture titled: “Non-Kinetic Operations and the Nigerian Armed Forces,” at the opening session of a national security course on “Psychological Operations and Strategic Communication (PSYOPS)”organised by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA).

The programme was held with the theme, “Winning Hearts and Minds for National Cohesion and Development”.

The CDS, who was represented by Rear iral Daupreye Matthew, Director of Training, Defence Headquarters, asserted that the military had not contemplated scrapping the non-kinetic approach as part of the efforts being used to solve insecurity challenges.

He explained that the use of non-kinetic efforts under Operation Safe Corridor had led to the surrender of more than 2,000 Boko Haran between 2016 and 2017.

According to him, 67 per cent of those who surrendered were of the Abubakar Shekau faction of the insurgents, adding that 1,543 repentant terrorists graduated from Mallam Sidi Camp in Gombe State and 1,935 were released from Bulumkutu camp in Borno between 2016 and 2022.

General Musa noted that from July 2021 to May 4, 2022 alone, no fewer than 51,828 terrorists and their family surrendered, out of which 13,360 were fighters, stressing that 106,000 terrorists and their family had so far surrendered in the North East.

The five-day programme was said to have been organised to boost security experts’ understanding of the dynamics of psychological operations and strategic communication.

This is another terrible move.

There is nothing like "Repentant Terrorist". Those guys are meant to be locked up forever!!!!!!!!!

Hehehe. .


For those asking why their is high spike of terrorism, banditry and kidnapping,I guess you have your answers now.

1900 terrorists unleashed on innocent citizens of Nigeria,this country is a big joke.

They released terrorists back into the society, they should also be working hard on releasing hardened criminals too , after all "what is good for the goose is good for the gander ".

You see why I believe that Nigeria is not yet ready to fight terrorism. They are just gaslighting the situation.

And the innocent ipob and mnk is still in prison for fighting for thire rights, Nigeria is indeed animal kingdom

Repentant Bokoharam? Nigeria is a joke.
This shows Tinubu is just clueless president.
The most usless president ever seen i the histry of humanity

It is finished, I thought BULLHARI will be the last 🤡 clown, but THIEFNIBU is the main the main 🤡 clown, with no direction.

Imagine

Even under Yekini Amoda Ogunlere(Lamidi Amoda Sangodele) presidency?

He really pledged to continue from where Bubu stopped. Tinubu will be worse than Bubu

Nothing like a repentant terrorist.

You either lock em up forever or execute them.

This their non kinetic approach is being used to lay a ground work for amnesty abi?
We all know Buhari's heartbeat. For him to handover to an unpopular candidate and party says a lot about what we should expect.
These monsters will now go back into the communities they destroyed backed by their unnamed sponsors and we think insecurity is about to reduce?

And we are surprised about the spike in kidnapping and terrorism? E no go better for this useless government

You release what back to where






How did I end up in this Cowtri ??

..where are the terrorists cowwss..In the voice of a cocain sniffing clueless certificate forger..

The news headline should have read: Another batch of Bandits/Kidnappers have been released into the society.

The only repentant terrorists are dead terrorists; Know this and know peace!

COMRADES
Bokoharam has come to stay in Nigeria unless we have selfless leaders both at the political and the military hierarchy

Terrorists cannot repent they are just being overpumpered

Okay nah

Potential bandits

The North are playing games with the lives of their people

The way we go about our disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration is scary. I am sure even UN is confused.

Vigilante Rescue Police From Bandits

The same repentant bokoharam have converted to fulani bandits kidnappers.
These repentant bokoharam turned bandits kidnappers are well taken care of more than the army and police.

Am I the only one that noticed James Bond 007 is on that queue?

When I see such post I the blessings I got from my grandfather before he breathe his last breathe years ago. He put his hand on my head and said my grandson People will waste their time to read your comments
And today is that day 😂😂

It's DHQ for defence headquarters.. NDA is the defence academy.

It shall never be well with those who spearheaded the release of these murderers

But they murdered every Naija delta militants oh. Okay na

At least 10% of these guys would keep the military busy.

It is an improvement from incorporating them into the armed forces and giving them uniforms/weapons
