Five members of the Islamic sect known as Boko Haram have surrendered
to the Nigerian troops in Konduga, Defence Headquarters revealed.
This revelation was made known through the twitter page of
the Defence Headquarters Sunday.
DHQ said the insurgents pleaded for mercy after surrendering
their weapons. It said some of the captured insurgents were already giving
useful information.
“As the heat on terrorists continues, five terrorists
yesterday surrendered with all their weapons to troops in Konduga pleading for
mercy,” the tweet read.
“Other captured terrorists have also been giving useful
information on the subsequent plans of the group in an apparent offer to
cooperate,” another tweet said.
It would be recalled that Nigerian troops launched an
offensive against the sect in Konduga, Borno state, capturing one of Boko
Haram’s high ranking commanders killing 60 members of the sect.
