The Nigerian Army has confirmed that at least 32 Boko Haram militants have surrendered to its troops at different locations in the country’s north-east.
The militants surrendered after the army killed five insurgents over the weekend. Six months ago, over 1,000 insurgents reportedly surrendered to troops in the Lake Chad region.
This is the latest group of Boko Haram fighters to disarm and surrender to the armed forces. It is estimated that more than 2,000 of the Islamist militants have laid down arms over the last two years. The Nigerian army have released photos of the suspected militants to the public, however, the Army did not reveal any future plans for the militants.
