The presidency has debunked reports suggesting that repentant Boko Haram terrorists are being recruited into the Nigerian military.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, GARBA SHEHU, in a statement issued said no former terrorist is absorbed into the military.
This comes amid an allegation made by Borno State Governor, BABAGANA ZULUM that his convoy was attacked by soldiers and not Boko Haram terrorists.
The presidential spokesman explained that the Federal Government’s Operation Safe Corridor programme aimed at rehabilitating the former terrorists were being monitored by the International Organisation for Migration.
He insisted that none of the recent 601 former insurgents who have undergone the radicalization and rehabilitation programme is admitted into the military.
