A man identified as Enoch Yohanna has sparked reactions online after alleging that repentant members of Boko Haram are being financially rewarded under rehabilitation programmes linked to insurgency recovery efforts in northeastern Nigeria.

In a viral statement circulating on social media, Yohanna claimed that former insurgents who complete rehabilitation programmes allegedly receive ₦3 million as payoff and are also placed on monthly salaries of about ₦50,000.

According to him, the rehabilitation system allegedly categorizes former fighters based on the severity of their involvement in violent activities before determining the duration of their rehabilitation.

He further alleged that some individuals linked to the programme later join civilian security structures such as the Civilian Joint Task Force (JTF), while others are reportedly sent outside Nigeria for mining activities.

Yohanna expressed frustration over what he described as the painful reality of alleged former insurgents benefiting from public funds despite the devastating impact insurgency has had on many families in Borno State and other parts of northern Nigeria.

The emotional remarks have generated widespread debate online, with many Nigerians demanding clarification from authorities regarding the rehabilitation and reintegration programmes for repentant insurgents.

However, there is currently no independently verified public evidence confirming several of the specific financial and operational claims made in the viral statement, including the alleged ₦3 million payments, foreign mining deployments, or salary arrangements described by Yohanna.

Nigeria’s rehabilitation initiatives for former insurgents, including the federal government’s deradicalisation and reintegration programmes, have remained controversial over the years, especially among victims of insurgency attacks and affected communities who argue that justice and support for victims should remain a priority.

Security experts have repeatedly stated that deradicalisation programmes are often designed to encourage defections from armed groups and reduce violence, though critics continue to question the transparency and effectiveness of such initiatives.

As of the time of filing this report, neither the Borno State Government nor relevant federal authorities had officially responded to the latest allegations circulating online.
