The Nigeria military has been waging an internecine war against the Boko Haram terrorists for over 10 years now. The Nigerian military has employed the same measures in dealing with the Boko Haram terrorists by combining the ‘Operation Safe Corridor’ policy with military offensives. Then, perhaps the most important issue that needs to be factored in ‘Operation Safe Corridor’ borders on the process of determining whether the repentant terrorists have actually repented. With this human nature in mind, the claim of some Boko Haram terrorists to have repented and asking for forgiveness may have to be taken with a bag of salt, not just a pinch. But the question is: Are these scientific and psychological processes being followed in Nigeria in handling the Boko Haram terrorists?
