Jul 13, 2020
602 repentant Boko Haram members have denounced their membership of the group and swore Oath of Allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The ex-insurgents who have completed a de-radicalization, rehabilitation and reintegration programme, denounced their membership of the insurgent group on Monday July 13 at the Malam Sidi Camp in Kwami Local Government Area of Gombe State .
PM News reports that they denounced their membership of Boko Haram before an 11-man Quasi-Judicial Panel headed by Justice Nehizena Afolabi, of the Federal High Court, Gombe.
Speaking during the exercise, Maj.-Gen. Bamidele Shafa, the Coordinator, Operation Safe Corridor, said the appearance of the repentant insurgents before the judicial panel was a major requirement, before their reintegration into the society.
“The panel is for the clients to appear before it to confess their pasts and denounce their membership of Boko Haram, Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP) as the case may be.
“And swear Oath of Allegiance to be loyal, discipline and obedient citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and then make commitment.
“The commitment is that at the end of the programme, where they commit any offence, they stand to forfeit all privileges that they have acquired today and will be liable of offence against the State.”
