- They surrendered and presented themselves to troops at an unknown location, within the Lake Chad region, sources said.
A girl and her Boko Haram Husband have abandoned the Boko Haram camp and have surrendered to troops of the Nigerian military, EkoHotBlog has gathered.
The girl is a former student of Government Secondary School (GSS) Chibok, in Borno State, and her husband, a Boko Haram-ISWAP terrorist.
The student was among the over 200 kidnaped by Boko Haram insurgents seven years ago.
Recall that on April 14, 2014, Boko Haram fighters invaded the Borno school and abducted no fewer than 270 students.
The name of the student is yet to be published by military authorities, it was learnt that she and her husband forsook their membership of the extremist sect.
They surrendered and presented themselves to troops at an unknown location, within the Lake Chad region, sources said.
A credible intelligence source in Maiduguri told Newsmen that some other Boko Haram-ISWAP insurgents have willingly reached out to the military, demonstrating their intentions to surrender and lay down their arms.
“The terrorists’ resolve to surrender may not be unconnected with the destruction of their enclaves and camps by the Nigerian military airstrikes and ground bombardment; and the outbreak of killer diseases together with food scarcity, which have badly hit the terrorists.
