The Yobe state government has announced its readiness to reintegrate 54 ex-members of Boko Haram who have undergone the De-radicalisation, Rehabilitation and Reintegration (DRR) programme under Operation Safe Corridor (OPSC).
Governor Mai Mala Buni made this known in Damaturu when he received the delegation of OPSC, led by the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa.
Buni, who was represented by his Deputy, Idi Barde Gubana, described the visit as an opportunity for strategic engagement and collaboration between the state and security forces.
He lamented how the over 15-year insurgency had consumed thousands of lives in Yobe, destroyed public and private properties and displaced many households.

The governor said the Yobe state government had recognised that not all members of the terrorist group joined willingly, saying a non-kinetic approach offered a chance to salvage and reintegrate those who show remorse.
