What about their victims ?

The Borno State Government has successfully reintegrated 720 repentant insurgents who completed the state’s deradicalisation, rehabilitation, and reintegration program back into society.

This latest group, considered low-risk and minor clients, represents Batch 9 of the initiative and was formally sworn in using the Holy Quran before returning to their respective communities. The program, which began on July 5, 2021, under Governor Babagana Zulum, has seen widespread participation from former fighters who voluntarily surrendered.

Brigadier General Ishaq Abdullahi (retd.), Special Adviser on Security to Governor Zulum, described the exercise as a key milestone in Borno’s non-kinetic counter-insurgency strategy, highlighting it as one of the most effective peacebuilding models globally. With the latest reintegration, a total of 9,680 former insurgents have been successfully rehabilitated across all batches.

The program also included the reintegration of 992 spouses and 2,050 children associated with former insurgents. Participants underwent structured rehabilitation activities including Islamic teachings, counselling, hygiene education, drug abuse awareness, and vocational training such as carpentry, tailoring, metalwork, bricklaying, and solar installation. Starter packs were also provided to support their return to civilian life.

Beneficiaries came from multiple local government areas including Bama, Konduga, Maiduguri, Jere, Mafa, Dikwa, Gwoza, Damboa, Marte, Monguno, Kukawa, Ngala, Kalabarge, and Gubio. Community leaders, the Civilian Joint Task Force, and hunters assisted in screening the individuals before their reintegration.

The Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Zuwaira Gambo, described the program as a symbol of hope, reconciliation, and resilience, praising Governor Zulum’s visionary leadership in rebuilding communities and resettling displaced families.
