Boko Haram Terrorist Surrenders to Troops

News Desk

 The Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) said a notorious Boko Haram terrorist, Bochu Abacha, has surrendered to troops deployed in Kukawa Local Government of Borno State.

Lt. Col. Olaniyi Osaba, Chief Military Information  officer of the MNJTF, Ndjamena, disclosed this in a statement in Maiduguri on Saturday. 

Osaba said that Abacha, a key figure in several terrorist operations, admitted to participating in multiple operations along the Mongunu-Baga axis. 

He said that Abacha attributed his surrender to the intense operations of the MNJTF and his dwindling interest in the course. 

Osaba said that on surrender, Abacha handed over one AK 47 Rifle, a magazine loaded with 11 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition, a mobile phone, an Airtel Sim card, and N32,500. 

He explained that the suspect was currently providing valuable intelligence to the authorities.

In a separate operation, MNJTF troops, in conjunction with intelligence operatives, ambushed Boko Haram terrorists conveying large logistics supplies in three Toyota vehicles under the cover of darkness. 

According to him, the troops engaged the terrorists in a fierce gun battle, killing one and forcing others to flee, abandoning their supplies.

Osaba said that recovered items include three Toyota vehicles loaded with assorted foodstuffs, sundry items, and N2,000.(NAN)
