Rev. Tom Mohamed Zubairu The government of Kogi state and even the Federal government shoud carry out DDR programme for these boys. DDR stands for disarmament, demobilization and reintegration.

The disarmament involves the collectionn of their weapons in exchange for some monetary reward. The amount should be attractive enough for them to be willing to hand their guns over. Demobilization involves the demillitarization of their minds by councelling. They should be camped somewhere for a period of time, fed well, and councelled to eschew viloence.
