According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in the Lake Chad region, the terrorists surrendered between June 3 and 5, 2024.
Citing sources, he said the four terrorists surrendered with two AK-47 rifles, 99 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, seven AK-47 magazines, two hand grenades, four Baofeng radios, two bandoliers, one bag, a pair of ISWAP uniform and two motorcycles.
The terrorists, according to the report, claimed that their decision to surrender was due to the severe hunger and hardship they experienced in their camp and, consequently, their unwillingness to continue with terrorist activities.
They were said to have come from Damboa general area.
