The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) says the Nigerian army has recorded increased numbers of surrenders by terrorists, especially in the north-central.
Edward Buba, director of defence media operations, said one of the several terrorist leaders and commanders who have surrendered is Yellow Jambros, a notorious kidnap kingpin.
Buba listed Alhaji Mallam, Ardo Idi (Alhaji Lawal), Lawal Kwalba, Salkado, Yellow Ibrahim, Gana’e and Babangida as others who have surrendered.
Buba, who was giving a weekly update on the operations of the military on Saturday, said terrorists in the north-central region are surrendering to troops, adding that a non-kinetic collaborative effort with stakeholders was deployed to encourage the process.
“These surrenders are occasioned by overtures from the terrorist leadership based on troops onslaught against them,” Buba said.
“Accordingly, several terrorist leaders, commanders and combatants have so far surrendered with more indicating interest to surrender.
“Notable terrorist that have surrendered include; Yellow Jambros, Alhaji Mallam, Ardo Idi(Alhaji Lawal), Lawal Kwalba, Salkado, Yellow Ibrahim, Gana’e and Babangida among others.
