    Over 200 Boko Haram Fighters, Families Surrender In Lake Chad Region

    In a major success for regional security forces, no fewer than 210 Boko Haram insurgents, including their families, have surrendered to the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) troops operating under Sector 2 in the Bol and Baga Sola axis of the Lake Chad region.

    This development marks another critical blow to the terrorist group’s operational strength in the region.

    The mass surrender is said to be the outcome of sustained military pressure from the combined forces of the Nigerian Army, Air Force, and Navy, under the ongoing Operation Hadin Kai.

    A statement issued on Wednesday by the Chief Military Public Information Officer of MNJTF, Lieutenant Colonel Olaniyi Osoba, revealed that the former fighters confessed to taking part in several coordinated attacks across Bakatolerom, Barkalam, Litri, and Kaiga Ngbouboun—key areas along the Lake Chad corridor that have long witnessed Boko Haram violence.

    At least ten assorted firearms of various calibres were recovered from the surrendered insurgents.

    Commander of Sector 2/Operation Lake Chad, Major General Moussa Haussa, commended the troops for their relentless efforts and urged them to sustain the offensive.

    “There is no future for terrorism in the region,” Haussa said, adding that those who surrendered will be treated humanely and integrated into the MNJTF’s deradicalization programme.

    Brigadier General Saleh Haggar Tidjani, Governor of the Lake Chad region, also addressed the development, promising immediate support for the reintegration of the repentant fighters.

    He disclosed that the government plans to enroll them in skills acquisition schemes aimed at helping them transition to productive civilian life.

    “This surrender represents a significant blow to Boko Haram’s operational capacity and a strong endorsement of MNJTF’s dual-track strategy of military might and post-conflict rehabilitation,” the statement added.

    The MNJTF reaffirmed its commitment to collaborating with regional governments and stakeholders to ensure enduring peace and security across the Lake Chad Basin.
