A program initiated in 2016 by former President Muhammadu Buhari, Operation Safe Corridor, aimed to rehabilitate and reintegrate former insurgents into Nigerian society. The program’s goal was to foster lasting peace and resolve the decade-long insurgency. However, Nigerians are now expressing doubt regarding the genuine repentance of these ex-combatants. Concerns center on whether deradicalization efforts are truly effective and if reintegration poses ongoing security risks. The initiative has been controversial since its inception, with critics questioning its long-term impact on national security. Vanguard News reported on the growing public skepticism surrounding the program’s ability to achieve its stated objectives.
