According to him, military investigation revealed that the surrendered Boko Haram fighter had three years affiliation with the Buduma faction of the dreaded sect.

He stated that Ali hails from Masarram on Lake Chad Island and resides at Duguri and had operated with the group before growing discontent within the group.

The MNJTF urged other Boko Haram terrorists hiding in the Lake Chad islands and adjoining communities to cease hostilities and embrace peace.

“We reiterate our commitment to restoring lasting peace and stability to the Lake Chad Basin, encouraging terrorists to follow the path of those who have already surrendered.”
