Over 150 Terrorists Surrender to Nigerian Military Forces

More than 150 terrorists, including commanders, fighters, and affiliates, surrendered to troops of the Joint Task Force North East, Operation Hadin Kai, in recent weeks, as reported by Captain Mohammed Goni, the Acting Military Information Officer. This figure represents a significant rise from over 50 terrorists who surrendered the previous week.

The increase is linked to sustained intelligence-led operations, military pressure on terrorist positions, and efforts to disrupt their networks. Troops have targeted terrorist movements and logistics routes, making it difficult for these groups to operate.

Some surrendering individuals were found with weapons and ammunition, indicating the operational impact of the military's campaign. Operation Hadin Kai employs strategic communication and civil-military engagement to encourage voluntary disengagement from terrorism.

The military continues to urge terrorists to surrender, subjecting them to established procedures for profiling and documentation. The North-East remains a focal point of Nigeria's counter-terrorism efforts, particularly in Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa states.
