A Borno State indigene, Enoch Yohanna, has alleged that repentant Boko Haram members are given ₦3 million and placed on a monthly salary after completing rehabilitation under government programmes.
He made the claims during a public event, expressing anger over what he described as the use of taxpayers’ money to support individuals formerly involved in insurgency activities.
Allegations on Rehabilitation System
According to him, individuals who previously participated in insurgency are allegedly taken through a structured rehabilitation process before being reintegrated into society.
He claimed that the process involves categorising participants based on their level of involvement and exposure during the insurgency period.
Claims on Reintegration Process
He further alleged that some rehabilitated individuals are integrated into community security arrangements, while others are deployed for different assignments under government supervision.
In his words: “Boko haram are being rehabilitated, Now, what they do after rehabilitation, they fill form, ask them questions on how many people have they k!lled. If they k!ll 50, they have there are own class. If you have never k!lled, you stay there one month. If you k!ll small number, two months. If you kill many, six months. Which type of ammunition have you used?
These are the people that are given payoff of N3 million and monthly salary of N50, 000. I am revealing this. After been rehabilitated and cannot live without using g$ns, the government will provide gun for you as a civilian JTF. You all know they are here in Abuja. Most of them are repented Boko Haram. Some of them that cannot stay in the 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 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 terror!ze anybody. I am going to fight back. It has been so painful that the k!llers of my dad is being paid with taxpayers money. The abductors of our wives, our childre, our sister are being paid with taxpayers money. They drive luxury cars with escorts. There is one man that slaughtered 96 people a day, now he is driving hilux. His name is Adamu. I am saying this., I do not care. I am ready to d!e because what is the life”
