A horde of Boko Haram fighters renounced membership of the sect on Wednesday in Borno in the long chain of surrender over the months.
The commanders and fighters surrendered their arms and ammunition to security forces stationed in the Gwoza axis after escaping the military onslaught at Jaje within the Sambisa Forest.
Operation Hadin Kai troops of 192 Battalion deployed to Gwoza-Limankara road took them into custody.
According to a report by PRNigeria that many of the terrorists were conscripted at a young age.
“So far, more than 17,000 members of Boko Haram have surrendered despite ISWAP efforts to stop them,” the report stated.
The military expects more surrender before the end of 2021.
