Pamphlets and flyers containing confessions and expressions of regret from the terrorists were dropped in some areas of the state at around 5am on Friday, February 20.
Residents of Adamawa State have received messages from repentant Boko Haram members via helicopter, reports say.

The repentant insurgents stated in the messages, which were written in English, Hausa and Arabic, that they had been brainwashed by some leaders of the sect leading them to loot communities and kill innocent Nigerians.

“People began to fear, so I immediately phoned the executive chairman of the council to intimate him, who also confirmed from security chiefs in Yola, saying it was military helicopters spreading peace message to residents," a resident of Gombi, identified as Kabiru, said.

“We were shocked and there was apprehension when we saw the helicopter hovering over us, dropping the pamphlets with Boko Haram inscription indicating their regrets,” a community leader, also from Gombi, said.

According to another witness, Bello Adamu, the pamphlets read thus:

“We started this jihad of Ahlis sunna lidda awati together as one. We sleep together, we eat and drink together. We studied the Holy Quran and prayed together in the early days of this Jihad. Those of us that are doing the work of God for the past 5yrs today. We have to realise today that we are being used for selfish and corrupt reasons. We have reached a situation whereby our leaders are enjoying and we are suffering in the name of jihad.’’

The messages were however signed with the names of towns, Gamboru, Damask and Alagamo, and not human names.

Boko Haram had earlier shared pamphlets among residents of Gombe State warning them not to vote in the upcoming general elections.

The leader of the sect, Abubakar Shekau has also threatened to disrupt the elections.

Please also try to be sensible sometimes. It's the confessions of captured members that were written down and distributed as flyers by the Nigerian military as part of their military campaign strategy. It happens all over the world. The U.S. did same in iraq and afghanistan.

This is what counter terrorism is all about. When locals within and around the communities being ravaged by terrorist see this write-ups, written by captured boko haram members, it will discourage them from submitting or committing themselves to terrorist activities. This is another strategy by the military to kill the ideology of Boko Haram.
Kudos to the Nigerian Army.
