Borno man speaks on repentant Boko Haram members, claims ‘they get N3 million after rehab, N500k monthly salary’ (Video)
An indigene of Borno state, Enoch Yohanna, has accused the Federal Government of Nigeria of granting financial payouts of up to N3 million to rehabilitated Boko Haram insurgents.
Speaking at a recent public event, Yohanna expressed profound grievance over the alleged utilization of public funds to compensate individuals responsible for widespread atrocities.
“My pain is that the assailants who killed my father and carried out mass abductions are being paid with taxpayers’ money,” Yohanna stated.
The controversy centers on Operation Safe Corridor (OSC), an initiative launched by the Muhammadu Buhari administration in 2016.

The programme was designed to establish a non-violent exit strategy for “low-risk” and “repentant” combatants. It utilizes a structured framework of Deradicalisation, Rehabilitation, and Reintegration (DRR) to transition former insurgents back into society.

According to Yohanna; ‘’Boko haram are being rehabilitated. Now, what they do after rehabilitation is that they fill out a form and ask them questions about how many people they have killed. If they kill 50, they have their own class. If you have never killed, you stay there one month. If you know a small number, two months. If you kill many, in six months. Which type of ammunition have you used?

“These are the people who are given a payoff of N3 million and a monthly salary of N50, 000. I am revealing this. After being rehabilitated and being unable to live without using guns, the government will provide guns to you as a civilian JTF.
“You all know they are here in Abuja. Most of them are repentant Boko Haram. Some of them who cannot stay in society, they are being exported to Algeria to go and and do illegal gold mining in Algeria. and be paid. If they sustain gunshots, they are going to be transported back to Maiduguri and treated in the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital through the government of Borno state.
“The civilian JTFs. Go to Zamfara, they are there. The government of Zamfara is paying the government of Borno N70, 000. The government of Borno is paying them N50, 000, meaning it is a job. It is a business. It is not a crime to start a business if the business is being recognised by our government.
“The business I am craving for is to start my terror!sm. I am not going to terrorize anybody. I am going to fight back. It has been so painful that the killers of my dad are being paid with taxpayers’ money.
“The abductors of our wives, our children, our sisters are being paid with taxpayers’ money. They drive luxury cars with escorts. There is one man who slaughtered 96 people a day; now he is driving a Hilux. His name is Adamu. I am saying this. I do not care. I am ready to d!e because what is life”
