Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters says it has launched “Operation Safe Corridor” for militant Islamists who surrender and repent.
In a statement, the military said members of the Boko Haram group who surrender would be given vocational training at a rehabilitation camp so that they could return to normal life.
The statement said the military would continue with its offensive against the group, and its fighters should therefore see the “wisdom of surrendering now, thereby saving themselves from imminent calamity”.
On its Twitter account, the DHQ wrote “Defence Headquarters Establishes Camp For Repentant Boko Haram Members” but at the time of filing this report the link to the statement appeared to have been deleted.
