Modeled after the Operation Safe Corridor initiative in the North East, which successfully de-radicalized and reintegrated former Boko Haram fighters, the North West program seeks to offer a structured exit for individuals involved in banditry. The initiative will involve vocational training, psychological support, and ideological reorientation.
The program is part of a broader strategy to curb insecurity in the region by providing an alternative pathway for bandits seeking to abandon criminal activities. However, authorities have assured that those who refuse to surrender will face intensified military operations.
The initiative comes amid ongoing military offensives against bandit groups across Zamfara and neighboring states, with security forces maintaining that kinetic and non-kinetic approaches are crucial to restoring peace.
