No fewer than 300 Boko Haram fighters
have surrendered in Nigeria’s neighbouring country
Cameroon in the past three weeks, Cameroon’s
defense ministry has said.
Cameroon’s defence Spokesman Lt. Col. Didier
Badjeck told The Associated Press that the
militants have given up their arms and asked for
asylum in Cameroon. Their fate has not been
decided.
Fighters from neighbouring Cameroon, Niger and
Chad have been identified fighting alongside
Nigeria’s homegrown Boko Haram group, which in
recent weeks also has been attacking border towns
and villages in Cameroon.
According to the country’s military spokesman, Lt.
Col. Didier Badjeck, the Islamist militants gave up
their arms and asked for asylum in Cameroon.
Cameroon soldiers also Saturday captured Abakar
Ali, one of Boko Haram top commanders. The
country’s army also seized a huge cache of arms
and ammunition from the Islamist militants during
the operation.
Reports said Ali, who also goes by name “Mustapher
Umar” was caught with 5 machine guns, 14 rifles,
24 rockets, 4 rocket launchers, 6 Kalashnikovs, 60
Kalashnikovs magazines, 4 automatic pistols , over
500 9mm ammunition, 469 12.7mm ammunition,
4,454 7.62 mm ammunition, 1,491 5.56 mm
ammunition, 822 ammunition of 7.62 mm, 6
grenades, 28 rocket launcher chargers and other
weaponized accessories like pincers, tweezers and
knives.
Cameroonian soldiers nabbed Mr. Ali with two other
Boko Haram fighters in Kousseri, a town in
northern Cameroon.
He is described as the insurgent commander, who
has been leading the Islamist sect’s attacks around
the border towns between Nigeria and Cameroon.
Ali often shuttled between various Boko Haram
camps in the area and organized deadly attacks
that targeted mostly civilians.
It is expected that the Cameroonian military would
share intelligence gathered from the apprehended
sect member.
The insurgents have in recent weeks attacked
border towns and villages in Cameroon.
Boko Haram had seized a string of towns and
declared an Islamic caliphate in northeast Nigeria
before the Nigerian military started recording
victories with air and ground attacks that have
resulted into 135 Boko Haram fighters also
surrendering to Nigeria’s army.
According to the Nigerian Defence Ministry, about
135 insurgents surrendered last Tuesday night,
some at Buni-Yadi some 200 kilometers (125 miles)
west of Konduga and others at Michika, 165
kilometers (100 miles) south of Konduga.
It was gathered that several militant commanders
were among the dead including Mohammed Bashir,
whom the Nigerian military identified as a double
who posed in videos as Boko Haram leader Abubakar
Shekau.
The Nigerian military has claimed in a statement
that Shekau has been killed in a battle last year.
Prior to the emergence of reports that Shekau
has been killed, President Goodluck Jonathan has
revealed that the Boko Haram would end by next
month.
Jonathan made the revelation on in Abuja, while
speaking at the 66th National Executive
Committee, NEC of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP.
He said the security challenge posed by the sect
who have been killing innocent Nigerians as well as
the destruction of properties estimated at billions
of naira would drastically change...
