A notorious Boko Haram terrorist, Bochu Abacha, has surrendered to troops of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) deployed in Kukawa Local Government of Borno State.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by Lieutenant Colonel Olaniyi Osoba on Saturday.
Colonel Osoba said Bochu, who is a key figure in several terrorist operations, admitted to being a notorious Boko Haram terrorist who has participated in several Boko Haram/ ISWAP terrorist operations along the Mongunu – Baga axis.
According to him, the Boko Haram insurgent confessed to having surrendered due to the intense operation of the MNJTF and lack of interest.
“He disclosed to have escaped from a Boko Haram camp in the Mussaram with his weapon,” the statement reads.
“Items recovered from Bochu include one AK 47 Rifle and a magazine loaded with 11 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition, one mobile phone, an AIRTEL SIM card, and the sum of Thirty-Two Thousand Five Hundred Naira (N32,500).
“He is presently providing valuable intelligence to the authority.”
