ISWAP terrorists
A suspected member of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), alongside his wife and sons, has surrendered to troops in Pulka, Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the surrender occurred at about 3:54 p.m. on Oct. 21 at the Forward Operating Base (FOB) Pulka.
The sources said the suspected terrorist surrendered to troops of 192 Battalion (Motorised), under 26 Task Force Brigade.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the family had escaped from the Wuja terrorist enclave on the Mandara Mountains before surrendering to the troops.
One mobile phone was recovered from the family.
The suspected terrorist and his family are currently in military custody for further investigation and necessary action.
The development comes amid ongoing military operations aimed at dismantling terrorist enclaves and encouraging members of insurgent groups to abandon violence and surrender to security forces. (Zagazola)
