Last month, the Defence Headquarters announced that 603 'repentant' Boko Haram terrorists had been reintegrated into the society.
The incessant power tussle, ethnic tension and failure to actualise the establishment of a caliphate in the Sahel in the top echelon of terrorist groups are forcing their members to lay down their arms, the Multi-National Joint Task Force has said.
He said a member of the group, who admitted to have participated in various attacks on Banki, Fotokol, Gambarou Ngala, New Marte, Chikun Gudu, among others, had expressed frustration with the lack of progress in the jihad. The MNJTF is a combined multinational formation mandated to end the Boko Haram insurgency. It comprises soldiers from Benin, Cameroon, Chad, Niger, and Nigeria, and is headquartered in N’Djamena.
He said that the terrorist also added that there was ethnic rivalry among members of Boko Haram and ISWAP. The spokesperson also disclosed that a female member of the group lamented the severe abuse of women in the camps and prayed that no woman should find herself in the situation she recently escaped from.
“The force is therefore vindicated by the testimonies of the surrendered terrorists who spoke on their own volition.
