Nigerian Army Pardons New Batch Of Over 200 Boko Haram Fighters, Families
The army high command noted that a total of 186 Boko Haram terrorists surrendered on Saturday led by their Amir, Manye Aga, to troops of Operation Hadin Kai at the Forward Operational Base (FOB) in Ajiri.

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKAUG 16, 2021

The Nigerian Army has stated that it received a fresh batch of over 200 repentant Boko Haram fighters and their family members in clearance operations in Saturday and Sunday in Borno State.


The army high command noted that a total of 186 Boko Haram terrorists surrendered on Saturday led by their Amir, Manye Aga, to troops of Operation Hadin Kai at the Forward Operational Base (FOB) in Ajiri.



Meanwhile, on Sunday, the military received 33 additional Boko Haram fighters from Landanli, Azah, Ngaridua and Kondilla villages, who surrendered to own troops of 151 Task Force Battalion, Banki Junction in Bama.

The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig Gen Onyema Nwachukwu, stated these in a release on Monday, obtained by SaharaReporters, despite the outcries and widespread condemnation that had greeted the exercise.

Many Nigerians have called for the due prosecution of the former fighters instead of a blanket pardon and rehabilitation with tax payers’ money.

The army spokesman in a release said, “Following the recent unprecedented and massive surrendering of Boko Haram Terrorists in Bama Operational area between August 2 and 4, there has been confusion and severe apprehension in the camps of the Islamic State of West Africa Province especially amongst its top ranking commanders over the depleting strength of its members, which has drastically dwindled their overall fighting efficiency.

“It is against this back drop that the terrorists group opted for the use of propaganda via AMAQ Terrorists Media Wing with the aim to portray the group as if it is still a potent force in the North East.

“The current trend of apprehension in their camps was further aggravated by the recent alarming turn out of members of the terrorists group, who came out in droves with their families to lay down their arms and surrender to own troops at Mafa Local Government Area on 14 August, 2021.

“A total of 186 Boko Haram Terrorists members led by their Amir, Manye Aga, comprising 67 adult males, 54 adult females and 65 children surrendered to troops of Operation HADIN KAI at Forward Operational Base (FOB) Ajiri. Items recovered from the surrendered terrorists include, several AK 47 rifles and magazines, a locally made pistol and 8 locally fabricated daggers.

“Similarly, on 15 August, 2021, the Theatre took custody of additional Boko Haram fighters, comprising of 4 adult males, 11 adult females and 18 children from Landanli, Azah, Ngaridua and Kondilla villages, who surrendered to own troops of 151 Task Force Battalion, Banki Junction in Bama.

“ISWAP is yet to come to terms with the reality of its current predicament, which has posed serious negative impact on its prowess.

“It is also worthy of note that the terrorists are overwhelmed with palpable fear and are making desperate efforts to halt the ongoing surrendering of their fighters from the Tumbus and Sambisa axis.

“The Nigerian Military is more resolute in intensifying both kinetic and non-kinetic efforts in the fight against insurgency, banditry and sundry crimes in the country.”

My Lord, permit me ask my learned colleagues questions provoking interests.

May I , my Lord?

First, how do these people surrender?

Why isn't anyone asking this question?

Do they surrender to the angry frontal soldiers? I'm not sure cos those soldiers who saw their loved ones and regulars die wouldn't bargain a bullet out.


Does it mean they call the big men and discuss a bargain? Wait a second, they have their numbers? Wait another second, does it mean they are connected?


I'll pause here so my learned colleagues below can, with absolute qrandiloquence, demonstrate their degree of heededness to the above assertion.

Let's remember that criminals in power shared $2 billion meant to equip the Nigeria military. The same criminals hired SA mercenaries and rendered our military useless and demotivated.

They would have successfully made Nigeria become another Afghanistan were BH ruled.

Today we have have a reverse of the evil of Poverty Development Party. BH now surrenders to the Nigeria Army and are increasingly become desperate.

God bless Nigeria's Military, keep pounding them till their end.

God bless PMB, PYO BAT and all patriots that prevented Nigeria for becoming another Afghanistan by kicking out unbridled corrupt PDP regime from Nigeria.

terrorists are sinister, devious, and unabatedly evil. it's up to God to forgive them. your job is simply to send them to him. the north are treating boko haram far better than they treat the military. why wont they multiply when they know they don't get shot at even in battle, when they know all they need to do is to fake-surrender to get re-integrated and given their gratuity for job well done.

You are always off point. If you they have killed or kidnapped your family member or you are a soldier or family who has been wounded and no treatment, but BH are treated as kings with amnesty. There is a time to stop thinking in party line are be human for once.

If you don't like my post you can as well kill yourself since reminding you of the filthy lucre and misdeeds that brought our nation near the precipice by your party that empowers you to make noise on the Internet seems to ache you.

Or the over 20,000 Nigerians who died because your party under GEJ empowered BH to become monster? Or the 20,000 Nigerians do not fall into your human classification?

The many soldiers who perish due to poor weapons under the demons that send you out for propaganda means nothing to you?

or the fact that you supported a home sponsored foreign agent P&ID to further destroy your country and collect money for a deal they have no intention of implementing makes you what?

We know you have no value for any Nigerian life, you opened this thread to whip up bigotry and hate by misrepresenting every action of Government then shed crocodile tears when you wickedness is called out. The Demonic party you supported almost plunged this country into a dreadful winter with no ending in sight. God put you and them to shame.


YAOUNDE - Cameroon's military says some 400 Nigerian soldiers have sought refuge in the country after fleeing intense fighting against Boko Haram militants in Nigeria's Borno State.

Cameroon state radio reports that on Wednesday the soldiers arrived at the Cameroonian border town of Amchide, where they handed their weapons to military officials.

Cameroon military spokesman Colonel Didier Badjeck told VOA the military accepted the soldiers as a sign of its commitment to fight the militant alongside Nigerian forces.

Speaking in French, Badjeck described challenging situations in war that cause troops to flee, and that Cameroon has demonstrated that it is a nation that assumes its responsibility to those in harm's way.

No surprise there. The terr0rists are the same with the army officers. Southerners should simply prepare for the worst.

Fake news.
The army has no power to pardon or prosecute any suspect.

They are all doing great job for their grand commander who is in Aso rock, don't forget that they are all connected and the reason for surrendering is because of the forthcoming election where they can be rejig in the army and some will be use as thugs.
