According to Punch, two Boko Haram commanders, Ba’a Usman (Munzir) and Alhaji Ari (Nakib), and 49 fighters surrendered to troops of the Operation Hadin Kai Thearter Command, in Damboa, 85 kilometres south of Maiduguri, on Sunday, November 20.

A military source, Zagazola Makama, investigation revealed that the insurgents sneaked out of the surrounding Sambisa forest, where they had been hiding and waging a campaign of terror.

Authoritative sources said that by mid-November, about 100,000 insurgents, comprising combatants and non-combatants and their families, had surrendered to Nigerian troops.

This comes two months after Boko Haram Chief executioner, Bashir Bulabuduwaye, who allegedly killed over 1000 soldiers and civilians surrendered to the Nigerian Military.
