Why Terrorist Leaders Are Surrendering to Nigerian Military — DHQ

 

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has announced that several notorious terrorist leaders have surrendered to Nigerian troops.

Those who have surrendered include Yellow Jambros, Yellow Ibrahim, Gana’e Babangida, and four other top commanders.

A statement by Major General Edward Buba, Director Defence Media Operations on Friday, said this surrender is part of a broader trend of terrorist leaders and fighters giving themselves up to Nigerian forces.

“This is a major breakthrough in the fight against terrorism in the region.”

He  attributed the surrender to the military’s enhanced onslaught against the terrorists, which has weakened their operational capacity and capabilities to resist.

Buba revealed that several terrorist leaders, commanders, and combatants have surrendered, with more indicating interest in doing so.

Notable terrorist leaders who have surrendered include Yellow Jambros, Alhaji Mallam, Ardo Idi (Alhaji Lawal), Lawal Kwalba, Salkado, Yellow Ibrahim, Gana’e, and Babangida, among others.

The military has vowed to sustain its operational tempo to destroy or cause further surrender of terrorists.

During the week under review, troops neutralized 135 terrorists and arrested 185 persons.

The statement read in part: “Additionally, 61 perpetrators of oil theft were arrested, and 129 kidnapped hostages were rescued.

“In the South-South operational theatre, troops denied oil thieves the estimated sum of N889,233,020.00.

“Furthermore, troops recovered 113 assorted weapons and 2,415 assorted ammunition, including AK47 rifles, fabricated rifles, Dane guns, locally made pistols, and pump action guns.

“The military’s efforts to tackle insecurity have also led to the discovery and destruction of 93 crude oil cooking ovens, 12 dugout pits, 37 boats, 127 drums, 41 storage tanks, and 82 illegal refining sites in the Niger Delta area.

“Troops recovered 909,800 litres of stolen crude oil, 71,060 litres of illegally refined AGO, and 13,580 litres of PMS.”
