Boko Haram terrorists are gradually surrendering to the Nigerian army due to the untold hardship they suffer and the immense firepower and strength of the Nigerian military.

According to a statement released by the Army on Sunday, signed by its director of public relations, Sani Kukasheka Usman, 3 more Boko Haram fighters have laid down their arms and surrendered.

The statement made available to PoliticsNGR reads;

During the early hours of Saturday 22nd July 2017, 3 acclaimed suspected Boko Haram terrorists, Usman Ali, aged 22, Ibrahim Matukur, aged 13 and Usman Hussaini aged 25, willingly surrendered themselves to troops of 27 Task Force Brigade of Operation LAFIYA DOLE at Buni Yari, Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State.

Others that surrendered include Ali Baba, 25 years, Modu Wakil, 15 years, Usman Mahamadu, 47 years, Goni Bukar, 50 years, Modu Konto, 20 years and Isah Ali, 25 years old. During preliminary investigations, the surrendering Boko Haram terrorists revealed that they belong to the Mamman Nur faction of the Boko Haram terrorist group.

They said that they deliberately surrendered because they had realised their folly and no longer wish to continue with the criminal terrorists and insurgents activities. Furthermore, they stated that they escaped from the terrorist hideout at Buk village in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno state, adding that there were many more Boko Haram fighters willing to surrender because of untold hardship they suffer.

They pleaded for sympathy and forgiveness from members of the community restating that they were misguided and deceived all these years into believing they were fighting for a just cause. They urged the military authorities to make concerted efforts to reach out to other terrorists in the forest since they were willing to surrender.
