Boko Haram Fighter Surrenders AK-47, IED to Troops
On September 13, 2023, a Boko Haram/Islamic State West Africa Province (BH/ISWAP) fighter surrendered to troops of the 29 Task Force Brigade, part of the Joint Task Force (North East) under Operation HADIN KAI, in Borgozo, Benisheikh, Kaga Local Government Area, Borno State. The fighter surrendered with an AK-47 rifle, 14 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition, four magazines, one Improvised Explosive Device (IED), one magazine pouch, and a bicycle.
Preliminary investigations indicated that he escaped from a terrorist enclave intending to abandon terrorism. The military confirmed that the surrendered fighter is currently in custody for further investigation and profiling.
In a separate operation in Adamawa State, troops arrested six suspected members of a kidnapping syndicate involved in ransom abductions and other violent crimes, as part of the military's ongoing intelligence-led offensive against threats to community safety in the region.
