Top Boko Haram Members Renounce Terrorism

BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA – The Nigeria Army has announced that four top Boko Haram terrorists members on Monday July 17, 2017 willingly deserted their hideouts and surrendered themselves to 120 Task Force Battalion at Goniri.

It said that among the deserters was a high-profile terrorist, Konto Fanami, who was the Ameer of Kafa hideout of the Boko Haram terrorists group that operates along Ajigin-Talala-Mungusum axis.

A statement by the Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier-General Sani Usman said during preliminary interrogation, they confirmed that they abandoned terrorism because of incessant hardship and realizing that they were misled by their terrorist group leaders. 

According to Usman; “They further stated they were also erroneously misinformed and brainwashed about Islam and the Nigerian military and the society generally. 

“The remorseful surrendered terrorists regretted their involvement in terrorism and marveled at the courtesies and humane treatment accorded them by the military on surrendering.” 

The military called on the remnants of Boko Haram terrorists to follow suit and renounce their devilish creed assuring that adequate arrangement has made to receive all those that voluntarily renounced terrorism and surrendered themselves as they would be treated humanely.
