Borno State Defends Rehabilitation of Former Boko Haram Fighters

The Borno State Government has defended its rehabilitation program for former Boko Haram fighters, emphasizing that participants are required to take an oath on the Quran as part of the process. This initiative aims to discourage any return to violence among those who have renounced their past affiliations with the terrorist group.

The program is part of broader efforts to reintegrate these individuals into society, reflecting ongoing challenges related to security and terrorism in Nigeria. The government asserts that such measures are necessary to foster peace and stability in the region, which has been significantly affected by Boko Haram's activities.
