Nigerian Army orders Boko Haram fighters to surrender in North-East
The Nigerian Army has ordered the Boko Haram and Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists in the North-East to lay down their arms.
The Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, Major-Gen. Christopher Musa, gave the order during the Nigerian Army Social Activities held on Saturday at the Maimalari Cantonment ground in Maiduguri, Borno State.
Musa urged the terrorists to emulate the 83,000 insurgents and families that had surrendered to the troops in Borno State or face the wrath of the Armed Forces.
