Boko Haram terrorists beg soldiers for mercy

It was to our notice as the Defence Headquarters yesterday said scores of wounded terrorists captured by soldiers in the ongoing military operations against insurgency in the north east have been pleading with soldiers to spare their lives lol.

The terrorists according to the Director, Defence Information (DDI), Major-General Chris Olukolade, the Boko Haram members were captured from their various camps in the fringes of Lake Chad by the Multi-National Joint Task Force and other locations around Dikwa, Cross Kauwa, Kukawa and Alargarmo.   The captured terrorists, some of whom are fatally wounded, were already making useful statements regarding the locations of their remnant forces and that “they are full of apologies and pleas for their lives to be spared promising to cooperate” he said.

“In their confessions, it was revealed that some of the camps have been disbanded following the directive of their clerics, who declared that the operation of the sect had come to an end as the mission could no longer be sustained.  The terrorists who are giving useful information as to the locations of their remnant forces, promises to give all the available information to the Joint task of Nigeria armed forces

They confirmed that starvation was a major problem in addition to ceaseless bombardments on the camp locations even when they kept relocating.  They also confirmed that several members of the group have been wounded and no treatment was not forth coming.  Troops have continued their assault on other locations across the states covered by the state of emergency” Olukolade said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the DHQ has warned members of the public, who have suddenly embarked on sight-seeing on some dislodged camps and fringes of forest at Sambisa and other locations to desist from doing so as the tendency would no more be condoned while operations are still ongoing. He said  “The general area still remains a theatre and movement remains restricted as the environment has to be cleared for safety of citizens.

The public will be informed when the locations are safe enough.”
