DHQ reviews repentant insurgent rehabilitation program

Defence Headquarters (DHQ) is reassessing Operation Safe Corridor, its program for rehabilitating insurgents who surrender. Director Maj. Gen. Micheal Onoja confirmed the review addresses emerging challenges and public concerns about the de-radicalisation initiative. The program, run with Borno State and federal ministries, aims to reintegrate former insurgents into society while holding them accountable for past actions. DHQ acknowledges challenges but maintains rehabilitation remains vital for national security. Governors must operate within federal security policies, the spokesman emphasized.
