In a statement made available by the Army Director of Public
Relations, Brigadier General Sani Kukasheka Usman, he said the
terrorists willingly deserted their hideouts and surrendered themselves
to the Army on Monday.

Ameer of Kafa hideout of the Boko Haram terrorists group that operates
along Ajigin-Talala-Mungusum axis.

hardship and realizing that they were misled by their terrorist group
leaders.

The Army Director of Public Relations said the remorseful surrender
terrorists regretted their involvement in terrorism and marveled at the
courtesies and humane treatment accorded them by the military on
surrendering.
He further stated that the Nigerian Army is calling on those remnants of
Boko Haram terrorists to follow suit and renounce the devilish creed as
adequately arrangement has made to receive all those that voluntarily
renounce terrorism and surrender themselves and will be treated
humanely.
