The war against Boko Haram may soon come to an end as not less than 200 members of the sect surrendered to Nigerian Army after they capture Banki, a border town with Cameroon yesterday.
Speaking with journalists early today Major General Yusha’u Abubakar, Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole
said, ” “I have just received information from our troops about an hour ago that over 200 Boko Haram insurgents surrendered to them.”
As reported by Punch, the commander explained that suspected bomber was caught at Medinatu mosque in the Low Cost area of Maiduguri, monitoring the area with the intention of planting an improvised explosives device. Abubakar added that the suspected Boko Haram member had given information that might lead to the arrest of those who planted the Sunday’s multiple bombs in Maiduguri that killed scores of residents.
