117 Ex Terrorists Completes Rehabilitation Programme
One hundred and seventeen former fighters from Borno State have completed the Disarmament, Rehabilitation and Reintegration programme under Operation Safe Corridor.
The development was announced on Thursday, February 19, 2026.
The update came from the Director of Defence Information, Maj Gen Samaila Uba, who said the men had gone through the military’s structured deradicalisation and rehabilitation process.
The announcement was made during a high level stakeholders meeting organised by Defence Headquarters at the Nigerian Army Resource Centre in Abuja.
The meeting focused on plans to hand over the rehabilitated individuals to national and state authorities.
Officials said the next step is their transfer for reintegration into society, as the government continues efforts to address insurgency and restore peace in affected communities.
