According to Gen. Lucky Irabor, Chief of Defence Staff, 613 rehabilitated low-risk repentant terrorists would be returned to respective state governments for reintegration into society.

Irabor made the announcement on Thursday at the fifth Stakeholders’ Meeting of Operation Safe Corridor (OPSC) in Abuja.

The CDS, represented by Maj.-Gen. Adeyemi Yekini, Chief of Defence Training and Operations, said that the 613 clients are now undergoing deradicalization and rehabilitation at the OPSC.

He said that the gathering will thoroughly review the Deradicalization, Rehabilitation, and Reintegration (DRR) Programme before the rehabilitated clients were sent to their respective state governments.

According to Irabor, President Muhammadu Buhari formed the OPSC in September 2015 as a channel for willing and repentant terrorists to lay down their guns and participate in a systematic DRR program.
