49 Boko Haram Terrorists Surrender To Troops In Borno
At least 49 terrorists have reportedly surrendered to troops of Operation Hadin Kai in Damboa LGA of Borno state.
The terrorists, which include two Boko Haram commanders, were said to have surrendered on Sunday.
Zagazola Makama, a publication focused on the Lake Chad region, reported that the Boko Haram commanders were identified as Ba’a Usman (Munzir) and Alhaji Ari (Nakib).
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the insurgents came out from Sambisa forest, where they have been hiding and waging a campaign of terror,” a source was quoted as saying.
“The sustained onslaughts on the insurgents under the kinetic and non-kinetic approaches led to the mass surrender.”
In recent months, many terrorists have surrendered to Nigerian troops.
