A notorious Boko Haram terrorist, Bochu Abacha, has surrendered to troops of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) in the Kukawa local government area of Borno State.
The Chief Military Information Officer of the MNJTF, Ndjamena, Lt. Col. Olaniyi Osaba, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday in Maiduguri.
He said Abacha, a key figure in several terrorist operations, admitted that he had participated in multiple operations along the Mongunu-Baga axis.
The spokesman said: “The repentant terrorist said he surrendered due to the intense operations of the MNJTF and his dwindling interest in the cause.
“He 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.
