Two suspected family members of the Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP, have surrendered to troops of Operation HADIN KAI in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State.
Security expert, Zagazola Makama, made this disclosure in a
statement posted on X on Wednesday.
Zagazola said the surrender occurred when the woman,
identified as Mrs. Fatimata Modu, 29, arrived at the location of troops of the
81 Division Task Force Battalion under the 24 Task Force Brigade, accompanied
by her two-year-old son, Muhammed Modu.
According to him, the woman and her child, both from
Yaganari Village in Bama LGA, voluntarily surrendered to the troops and were
immediately taken into custody for profiling and documentation in line with
established operational procedures.
The security expert noted that preliminary screening and
documentation had been completed while further assessments would be carried out
by the appropriate agencies.
“The latest surrender adds to the growing number of
insurgents and their family members who have continued to lay down their arms
and embrace non-violent pathways amid sustained military operations across the
North-East.
“Although, the general security situation across the theatre
remained relatively calm, it was still unpredictable, with troops maintaining a
high level of vigilance and operational readiness,” he said.
