'' While the Nigerian Army has fulfilled its responsibility of deradicalizing and rehabilitating former Lions of Islam through the Deradicalisation, Rehabilitation, and Reintegration (DRR) programme under Operation Safe Corridor.

''it is now the duty of state governments, community leaders, and society members to help these individuals fully reintegrate into society.

''These individuals have undergone intensive psychological counseling, vocational training, and civic education at the DRR camp and are no longer a threat,'' Usman Ahmed said.

He added that the 390 ex-combatants, identified as Special Batch 6/2024 and Sulhu Batch 7/2024 clients, were recently handed over to their respective state governments after completing their programme.
