The Deputy
Director of Public Relations at the Theatre Command, Colonel Onyema Nwachukwu
has just confirmed that 68 Boko Haram terrorists have surrendered to
troops of
Operation Lafiya Dole within the last three weeks.
Colonel
Nwachukwu explained that the sustained operations pushed the terrorist group to
the brink of defeat with many of its foot soldiers surrendering to the Army.
'These
surrendered terrorists also reported that many of the enclaves have become
untenable and life has become unbearable for the Boko Haram terrorists, owing
to the blockade emplaced by troops and the sustained bombardments. Those who
have surrendered and turned a new leaf are currently undergoing rehabilitation
and de-radicalisation programmes organised by the Federal Government through
Operation SAFE CORRIDOR,” he said.
The Theatre
Command called on the remaining terrorists to have a rethink and discard the
hypocritical ideologies being promoted by their leaders. “They can surrender to any military location
nearest to them; the Theatre Command assures them of their safety and
well-being if they surrender willingly,” Nwachukwu said.
