Wife of Boko Haram’s chief physician, Rabi Abu-Yasir, has surrendered to the troops of Operation Lafiya Dole carrying out ongoing clearance operation to route out remnants of the insurgents.

The Theatre Commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj.-Gen. Rogers Nicholas, disclosed this while handing over 82 women and children rescued from the insurgents’ captivity to the Borno State Emergency Management Agency, SEMA, in Maiduguri.

Rabi told newsmen that her husband was the medical doctor to the insurgents’ leader, Abubakar Shekau, adding that unlike other women, she enjoyed preferential treatment and privileges in view of her position as a wife to the physician.

Revealing that she was rescued on Friday after the troops dislodged the insurgents’ enclaves in Sambisa Forest, Rabi said, “My husband, Abu-Yasir, is Shekau’s physician, he also treat patients and conduct surgical operation.

“My type of food and other consumables are better from what they gave out to other women and children in the camps.
