The Nigerian Army on Tuesday issued a final call for the surrender of Boko Haram insurgents who wish to escape an impending final onslaught.
The Army high command also demanded the immediate and unconditional release of the 219 Chibok girls still in the custody of the terrorists.
The warning follows President Buhari's Monday meeting with the service chiefs at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
At that meeting, the President was briefed on the state of the counter-insurgency operations in the Northeast and the strategies to achieve the December deadline for ending the insurgency.
A statement issued by Army spokesman, Col Sani Usman on Tuesday said ;
: “This is to finally warn all Boko Haram terrorists wherever they are, to desist from all acts of terrorism, surrender themselves and face the law now.
“We wish to inform them that we are aware of all their hideouts, camps and enclaves. They should follow their colleagues who have so far surrendered.
“Failure to surrender will result in serious consequences as our troops have closed up with them.
“We equally appeal to members of the international community and the world at large, to kindly persuade Boko Haram terrorists and their international collaborators to desist from acts of terrorism and renounce their membership of the terrorist organization forthwith.
“They should also immediately and unconditionally release all abducted persons in their custody, including the Chibok schoolgirls.”
