The Coordinator of Joint Intelligence Centre (JIC) of Theatre Command, Operation Lafiya Dole, Brig-Gen Abdulrahman Kuliya has handed over 760 cleared suspected members of Boko Haram to Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno state; for re-integration into society.
Handing over the cleared suspects on Monday at the Bulunkutu Rehabilitation Centre, Maiduguri, Kuliya said the suspects were cleared after thorough “interrogation and investigation” by JIC of the Theatre Command.
“We had to clear all these suspects before you, by profiling their individual relations and activities with Boko Haram.
After we are certified that none of them is involved directly or indirectly in terrorists’ activities, before handing them to Governor for reintegration into their respective communities in Borno,” said Kuliya at the handover ceremony.
He said the crackdown on Boko Haram terrorists is however yielding into significant results of reduced terrorists activities and suicide bombings that had claimed many lives and property in Borno state and the North-East.
