A number of influential Boko Haram fighters have dropped their rifles to make peace with the Nigerian troops following a turbulent run.
The Boko Haram fighters in question
Two days ago, 9 key Boko Haram terrorists from Tambashe village, Dikwa LGA of Borno State, have voluntarily surrendered to troops deployed along Dikwa-Gulumba Gana road.
The suspects claimed to be tired of the situation under the Boko Haram terrorists group and willingly offer themselves to troops as a mark of repentance.
Nevertheless, the repentant suspects are further being investigated, according to the military authorities.
