More Boko Haram insurgents Surrender to MNJTF Troops in Borno
By Madu Mohammed, Maiduguri
Due to ongoing onslaught on Boko Haram fighters by the troops of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) under Operation Lake Sanity,II,, 3 more Boko Haram terrorists have surrendered to troops in Wulgo and Baga in Cameroon and Nigeria.
The MNJTF in a statement signed by its Chief Military Public Information Officer, Lt Col.Abubakar Abdullahi, made available to journalists in Maiduguri yesterday, said ” in Cameroon’s Sector 1, two terrorist fighters surrendered to the troops at Wulgo. They have been identified as Rawagana Mustapha, 18, and Mustapha Ali, 20.”.
The statement further said ” similarly, Sector 3 in Nigeria reported the surrender of one terrorist fighter, Ibrahim Malam, 28, to the 403 Amphibious Brigade in Baga. Preliminary investigations revealed that Malam had been a Boko Haram fighter living in Kwaleram, south of Lake Chad, for 6 years”
The MNJTF therefore, urged the insurgents still in the bush to use the opportunity created under Operation Lake Sanity to surrender and lay down their arms for lasting peace and prosperity in the region.
It could be recalled that recent onslaught on Boko Haram insurgents has led to surrender of over 150 members of Boko Haram insurgents and Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP)
