Boko Haram Victim’s Son Alleges FG Pays Ex-Insurgents ₦3m Lump Sum and ₦50,000 Monthly

Enoch Yohanna from Borno accuses the Federal Government of awarding up to ₦3 million to rehabilitated Boko Haram members under Operation Safe Corridor. He claims these ex-insurgents receive a ₦50,000 monthly stipend and even arms from taxpayers’ funds. Yohanna describes a system where combatants are classified by the number of people they killed and given training periods accordingly. He alleges some are deployed as civilian members of the Joint Task Force, while others are sent abroad for illegal gold mining in Algeria. He expresses deep anger that his father’s killers now drive luxury vehicles on government escort and warns he may take up arms in retaliation if justice is not served. This allegation has sparked controversy over the use of public funds to reintegrate former insurgents into Nigerian society.
