The Multinational Joint Task Force, MNJTF, said a notorious Boko Haram terrorist, Bochu Abacha, has surrendered to troops deployed in Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State.
The Chief Military Information Officer of MNJTF, Ndjamena, Lt. Col. Olaniyi Osaba, revealed 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.
According to him, Abacha attributed his surrender to the intense operations of MNJTF and his dwindling interest in the cause.
Osaba further stated 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 pointed out 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.
