Following relentless onslaught by military troops, many members of the Boko Haram
terrorists group are beginning to surrender voluntarily. Some of them
submitted themselves and their weapons to the leadership of the troops
in Konduga during a further campaign at the weekend. The Defence
Headquarters has tweeted that "as the heat on the terrorists
continues, five terrorists surrendered with all their weapons to troops
at Konduga, pleading for mercy."
Other captured terrorists who refused to surrender
have also been giving useful information on the subsequent plans of the
group in an apparent offer to cooperate.
In the last few days there have been several attempts by terrorists
desperate to gain entry to Konduga, which the Nigerian troops, have
continued to foil. The PRNigeria gathered that the terrorists’
move was aimed at recovering the bodies of their prominent fighters who
had died in the previous encounters in the area.
Meanwhile the Nigerian troops have recovered more weapons during the
mopped up operations while some of their (terrorists') vehicles have
been destroyed.
