The Acting Director of Defence Information, Colonel ONYEMA NWACHUKWU, disclosed this in a statement.
NWACHUKWU explained that the move was in an effort to ensure that minors and other repentant Boko Haram fighters in the North East were given the necessary support and opportunity to embrace peace through the auspices of OPSC.
He said the handover ceremony was witnessed by the Borno State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, ZUWAIRA GAMBO, and a UNICEF official, CLEMENT ADAMS, among others.
GAMBO and Adams congratulated the repentant children for laying down their arms and urged them to take advantage of the Deradicalisation, Rehabilitation and Reintegration programme to turn a new leaf and abandon the senseless struggle.
