Over 2,168 repentant Boko Haram members have graduated from the Federal Government’s De-radicalisation, Rehabilitation and Reintegration, DRR, programme in Gombe State.
Col. Abiodun Johnson, the Commandant of the DRR Camp, Operation Safe Corridor, stated this on Thursday during a courtesy visit by the Borno Deputy Governor, Dr Usman Kadafur.
