There are reports that twelve wives of Boko Haram militants have surrendered to members of the Civilian Joint task force (JTF) in Borno state after their Boko Haram husbands abandoned them in the bush.

Interrogations revealed that the Boko Haram militants left their wives in the bush due to lack of food and fuel supply. The Nigerian military has in recent times shut down a vast majority of the supply channels for Boko Haram militants.

A Leader of the state vigilante group in Mussa District in Askira-Uba local government area of Borno state identified as Apagu Istifanus, said the women surrendered between Monday and Tuesday this week.

Apagu said ”On Monday 4 of them came to Askira after thorough investigation, they told us that their husbands could no longer feed them that they are many in the bush but more were still coming, they have been taken to Biu town for more information. Yesterday at about 4 pm another 8 surfaced again, two of them several months pregnant,. Their husbands had left them and their children at Ngude village in Damboa local government area. But we have handed over to the military. They have moved them to Mubi.”
