The Nigerian Army has handed over to the Borno State Government 25 members of the terrorist group, Boko Haram, who denounced the organisation and surrendered to the Nigerien government.
The army gave them to the state government in order for their rehabilitation and reintegration into the society.
Besides, the army also reported the killing of four soldiers by a Corporal who opened fire on his colleagues and injured two others before killing himself.
The Coordinator, Operation Safe Corridor, Maj. Gen. Bamidele Shafa, who brought the repentant insurgents from the neighbouring Republic of Niger, handed them over at the Bulunkutu Rehabilitation Centre, Maiduguri.
Shafa said those handed over to the state government comprised men, women and children who laid down their arms and surrendered to the Nigerien authorities.
He, however, declined to speak on the details of the arrangement with the Nigerien government but said all the 25 are Nigerians.
