Why 602 repentant Boko Haram members swore oath- Military
The Nigerian military on Thursday explained why 602 repentant Boko Haram members swore oath of allegiance to Nigeria.
Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. John Enenche, spoke at a news conference in Abuja.
He recalled that the former insurgents underwent De-radicalisation, Rehabilitation and Re-Integration (DRR) programme by Operation SAFE CORRIDOR.
Enenche said they completed DRR programme at Malam Sidi Camp and took the Oath before an 11 member quasi-judicial panel.
The senior officer said the “reason behind the Oath of Allegiance is to emphasize their loyalty, discipline and obedience to the Federal Republic of Nigeria and thereby making a commitment”.
The implication, he noted, was that if they commit any offence, they will forfeit “all privileges and will be liable for offence against the State”.
