Panic stricken militants have been surrendering to the front line troops in the Northeast following sustained air and ground offensives by the Nigerian military.
Army spokesperson, Col Sani Usman said that more and more militants are indicating willingness to surrender.
He said in a statement that the army has adopted strategies to
“constrict and snuff out the Boko Haram terrorists from their hideouts. Many of the terrorists that willingly surrendered painted images of mass panic and hysteria among their erstwhile colleagues.
“They said their colleagues are feeling the noose tightening on their necks with the relentless efforts of troops and renewed vigour in the operations inspired by the personal leadership of the Chief of Army Staff.
“Terrorists also seem to have an inkling of what happens to surrendered suspects as regards screening and de-radicalization of innocent ones among them."
He said that the Nigerian Armed Forces would continue to evolve effective strategies to bring the insurgency to a quick end.
