Wounded Boko Haram Terrorists captured by JTF
« on: March 12, 2014, 10:35:31 AM »
The recent counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency offensives launched against the outlawed Boko Haram Islamic sect is yielding fruits, as scores of wounded terrorists who escaped from various camps under the fire of security forces have been captured in the fringes of Lake Chad.

This is just as the federal government has decided to increase the air border patrol as well as intensify aerial surveillance of the states under emergency rule.

According to the Director of Defence Information (DDI), Maj-Gen. Chris Olukolade, the captured terrorists some of whom were fatally wounded are already making useful statements to interrogators of the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF).

Olukolade, in a statement yesterday, further disclosed that other terrorists were also captured by troops in locations around Dikwa, Cross Kauwa, Kukawa and Alargarmo.

In their confessions, he said, it was revealed that some of the camps have been disbanded following the directive of their clerics who declared that the operation of the sect had come to an end as the mission could no longer be sustained.

The defence spokesman added that the terrorists who are giving useful information as to the locations of their remnant forces, were full of apologies and pleas for their lives to be spared, promising to cooperate. - ThisDayLive
