Receiving the items, coordinator of Operation Safe Corridor, BM Shafa, said the initiative was designed to de-radicalise, rehabilitate and re-integrate willing and repented Boko Haram insurgents who have come out to surrender to the military and believing that it would quicken the peace process in the northeast.

“Between September last year and February this year a good number of Boko haram members have come out to surrender,” he said.
