The De-radicalization, Rehabilitation, and Reintegration (DRR) program of the Federal Government in Gombe State has produced over 2,168 former members of Boko Haram who have turned to the good.
The Commandant of the DRR Camp, Operation Safe Corridor, Col. Abiodun Johnson, made this announcement on Thursday during a courtesy visit by Dr. Usman Kadafur, the Deputy Governor of Borno.
According to Johnson, they completed a number of medical screenings, psycho-spiritual and psychiatric counseling, sports therapy, substance misuse counseling, and western education programs in addition to several rebuilding initiatives.
He claimed that the clients received training in a variety of occupational skills over the course of the six-month program, including electricity, carpentry, cap knitting, shoemaking, and tailoring.
The program, he continued, was broken down into three stages: initial documentation, initial medical exam, intelligence profiling, NIMC profiling Biometrics, and capture. All of the customers also started farming in the camp as a required trade.
