Thirteen former fighters of Boko Haram, have reportedly escaped with rifles and motorcycles given to them by the Borno State government.

Premiumtimes reports that the 13 are among thousands of former Boko Haram fighters and their families who had surrendered to the government and were enlisted to join the military in fighting the ins-urge.

The escapees attached to the military operatives in Mafa fled their camp between the 1st and 2nd of September. The report quotes Malik Samuel, a researcher with a deep understanding of jihadi groups in northeastern Nigeria and the Lake Chad Basin region, as saying that eight ex-fighters first escaped from the camp on September 1 before five others followed suit the next day.

He said the escapees called Abdullahi Ishaq, a special adviser to the government on security matters, threatened to unleash more violence.

After their escape, the jubilant terrorists reportedly released a video brandishing the rifles.

The state government is yet to react to this development.

Ipob are even more dangerous terrorists, those ones don't accept repentance. How many times did Soludo appealed for them to surrender and lay their harms for promised offer. Did they listen? Bokoharam and ipob are nearly the same. Bokoharam forbid western education while ipob also forbid western education by keep burning open universities and secondary schools in Biafra land.

Bokoharam and ipob are both banned in Nigeria. Bokoharam kills any tribe and majorly opposing religions while ipob kills igbos with Igbo donation. They both kill human beings they can not create. Bokoharam is religion based while ipob is self-inflicted. Bokoharam leaders are usually bold and die at war while ipob leaders are coward and always prefer to run away from war to enjoy donation money but keep promising their soldiers to wait till Biafra is realized to get their pay.
