Boko Haram and the Path to National Peace

The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has pledged support for Operation Safe Corridor (OSC), a federal government initiative focused on deradicalising, rehabilitating, and reintegrating repentant insurgents.

The agency recently made the commitment when Yusuf Ali, coordinator of OSC, and his team, paid a courtesy visit to the NOA’s headquarters in Abuja.

Receiving the delegation, Lanre Issa-Onilu, NOA director-general, acknowledged “widespread misinformation” about OSC.

According to a statement on the agency’s X page, Issa-Onilu said he hitherto had reservations about the programme due to limited understanding, but now appreciates the initiative’s objectives and logic.

He described the programme as essential for national peace and security.

The DG said many of the programme’s beneficiaries “were not ideological extremists but victims of abduction, coercion, or manipulation during insurgent occupation in the north-east”.

He noted the importance of community-based reintegration, adding that without local and government support, many ex-insurgents remain isolated and vulnerable.

Isaa-Onilu lauded the military and security agencies for their efforts, while calling for increased public education to counter negative narratives and promote national unity.

In his remarks, Ali harped on the need to address insecurity through kinetic and non-kinetic approaches.

The coordinator expressed concern about stigmatisation and misinformation that hinder reintegration and national cohesion.

He said the programme has been running for nearly a decade with support from UN agencies, state governments, traditional rulers, and religious institutions.

Rescued Borno vice principal recounts escape after military air operation

The Vice Principal of Government Day Secondary School, Lassa, in Askira/Uba Local Government Area of Borno State, Paul Namaske, has described how a Nigerian military air operation created an opportunity for him, two teachers and several students abducted by terrorists to escape.   Speaking in a one-minute, 20-second video obtained by Punch on Monday, Namaske said the abductees were taken into the bush after terrorists attacked candidates writing the National Examinations Council examinations. According to him, the situation changed when a military aircraft began hovering over the abductors, forcing the terrorists to scatter. “Today, being June 29, the terrorists took us into the bush. When a military aircraft started hovering over us, the insurgents started dispersing. While this was happening, we heard gunshots from the soldiers, so they began to run while we started escaping. In the process, the soldiers rescued us,” he said. Namaske said the abducted group comprised two teachers and more than 20 students. “We are two teachers and about 20-something students. I cannot give the precise number, but at one point during the movement, when they gathered us in one place, I was able to make a rough estimate. They were about 20 students and two teachers,” he added. Earlier, the Nigerian Army confirmed that 10 abducted victims, including teachers and students, had been rescued during the operation. The Acting Military Information Officer of the North-East Joint Task Force, Operation Hadin Kai, Capt. Muhammed Goni, said troops, supported by strike and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance aircraft, launched a coordinated search-and-rescue mission after the attack. He said ground troops, guided by the air component, engaged the abductors around the Daggu area, leading to the rescue of 10 victims, who were unharmed and are receiving care. Goni added that troops inflicted casualties on the fleeing terrorists and recovered seven motorcycles during the operation. He, however, confirmed that one soldier attached to Operation Hadin Kai and one member of the Civilian Joint Task Force were killed during the firefight. Efforts are continuing to rescue the remaining abductees and apprehend those responsible for the attack.
