The Nigerian Army says 68 Boko Haram terrorists have surrendered to troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE within the last three weeks.
The feat followed intensified onslaught against terrorists through coordinated air and artillery bombardments of the insurgents’ territories across the theatre.
The Deputy Director of Public Relations at the Theatre Command, Colonel Onyema Nwachukwu, reveal this in a statement obtained by Channels Television on Thursday.
According to the statement, the bombardments are backed by long range patrols and ambushes targeted at preventing fleeing terrorists from escaping and also denying them access to logistics supply.
Colonel Nwachukwu explained that the sustained operations pushed the terrorist group to the brink of defeat with many of its foot soldiers surrendering to the Army.
