Boko Haram Members Surrender

Though, it’s believed by some authorities that Boko Haram’s willingness to lay down their weapons might be another tactic to penetrate deeply into the strategic data bank of the Nigerian forces now that it seems they have been empowered. So, the military is advised to take precautionary care before totally accepting their willingness to surrender.

News, however, has it that, following sustained offensive by ground troops and pre-emptive air strikes by the Nigerian Air Force, scores of Boko Haram terrorists have continued to surrender to the Nigerian troops even as more have down their arms.

It was gathered that many of the terrorists were moving out of their Sambisa haven, which has received continuous pounding from the air as a result of airforce reconnaissance flight that exposed their hideouts.

A statement by the Acting Director of Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman noted that the action of the terrorists meant to escape collateral damage, was due to the new offensive strategies put in place for ‘Operation Lafiya Dole’ by the military high command.
