 Six Boko Haram terrorists surrender to MNJTF troops


The Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) said six more Boko Haram fighters have surrendered to its troops during operations in their various areas of responsibility.

One of the Boko Haram fighters surrendered to the troops with his wife, two children, and 36 hand grenades, MNJTF spokesperson, Lt. Col. Abubakar Abdullahi, said in a statement on Monday in Maiduguri,

According to him, the ex-Boko Haram fighters who surrendered to troops of 403 Amphibious Brigade, Sector 3 in Monguno between April 17 and 27 gave various reasons for abandoning the terrorist group.

According to Abdullahi on April 17, a 19-year-old Boko Haram terrorist who hailed from Masarram on the Lake Chad Island and residing at Duguri, surrendered to the troops and highlighted the growing discontentment within the group for his action.

He added that initial investigations revealed that the suspect had a three-year affiliation with Boko Haram’s Buduma faction.

The information officer also said that on April 25, two suspected terrorists turned themselves in at Blangua in Cameroon to troops of Sector 1, located at Darak in Southern Lake Chad.

”Investigations reveal their origins from Chad, residing in the localities of Kami-Wari and Kourea, respectively,” he added.

Abdullahi further said that on April 26, another suspect, his wife and two children bearing 36 hand grenades, surrendered to Sector 3 of 403 Amphibious Brigade in Kwatam Turare axis, Baga, Borno.

He said that the suspect, a foot soldier since 2017 in Sharama, cited internal crisis and the influence of MNJTF’s Operation Nashrul Salam as reasons for their defection.

”Similarly, on April 27, a 25-year-old suspected terrorist, surrendered to the troops of 19 Brigade, Sector 3, in Kekeno, within Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno.

”During the initial investigation, the suspect revealed that he had been abducted by Boko Haram militants along the Monguno-Maiduguri road in 2020.

”He said that during his captivity, he was forced to work as a storekeeper in one of the terrorist group’s camps located on the islands of Lake Chad.”

Abdullahi said that the MNJTF welcomes more insurgents to surrender and embrace peace.

”The MNJTF calls on other Boko Haram terrorists hiding in the Lake Chad islands and adjoining communities to cease hostilities and embrace peace.

”We reiterate our commitment to restoring lasting peace and stability to the Lake Chad Basin, encouraging terrorists to follow the path of those who have already surrendered,” he added.
