The Nigerian military this afternoon issued a fresh warning to Boko Haram terrorists, telling them to surrender or be ready to pay the price for their unpatriotic activities.

Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, said in a statement issued in Abuja: “This is to once again warn all Boko Haram terrorists wherever they are, to desist from all acts of terrorism, surrender themselves and face the law now. We wish to inform them that we are aware of all their hideouts, camps and enclaves.

“They should follow their colleagues who have so far surrendered. Failure to surrender will result in serious consequences as our troops are fast closing up on them.

“We equally appeal to all Nigerians to kindly persuade them to desist and renounce their membership of the terrorist organisation forthwith.”
