Currently, over 15,000 people have been received.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to note that the combination of kinetic and non-kinetic measures largely contributed to this wave of surrender.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Head, Strategic Communications in the Office of the NSA, Mr Zakari Usman, had confirmed that all 15,000 persons, who surrendered, would be rehabilitated, including some who might be prosecuted.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cYes, everybody will undergo rehabilitation. Even those who are going through the criminal justice process undergo rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the state level, together with MDAs that are involved, there is already a process on the ground.
