‘Boko Haram fighter surrenders’ to troops in Borno

A Boko Haram fighter identified as Sajeh Yaga has reportedly surrendered to troops of Operation Hadin Kai in Borno state.

Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, reports that the insurgent surrendered to troops of 112 taskforce battalion on Sunday.

He was said to have surrendered to the soldiers after he “sneaked out” from the terrorists’ camp in Sambisa forest.

The suspect reportedly relinquished weapons, including an Ak47 rifle, four Ak47 magazines, six 7.62 MM special ammunition, and three mobile phones to the troops.

The insurgent is said to be undergoing profiling in military custody.

Last week, troops of Operation Hadarin Daji in collaboration with the Department of State Services (DSS) killed seven suspected terrorists in Madachi, Isa LGA of Sokoto state.

The suspects were killed after the troops and DSS operatives responded to a distress call.
