Brig.-Gen. Bamidele Shaffa, Coordinator of
Operation Safe Corridor for Repentant Boko Haram, said on Monday that 800
repentant Boko Haram members would soon arrive Gombe for rehabilitation.
Speaking during an interactive session with
newsmen, Shaffa said that all the necessary arrangements had been put in place
to commence operation at the rehabilitation camp.
He said the repentant militants would undergo
a de-radicalisation process in the camp, which would prepare them to go back to
their various communities.
Shaffa said that about 14 Federal Government
agencies including the security personnel would work in the camp.
He said the former militants would be trained
in 12 different trades and vocations.
Shaffa said that the National Directorate of
Employment would provide all the facilities for the training.
Malam Sani Sidi, Director General, National
Emergency Management Agency, said that the agency would provide food and other
items for the trainees.
The items donated by NEMA include bags of
rice, vegetable oil, mattresses, among other items.
