THIS was disclosed by the outgoing Theatre Commander of the Joint Task Force in the North East, Operation HADIN KAI, Major General I.S Ali.
Ali, who revealed this while handing over the theatre operation to Maj Gen Gold Chibuisi, said more than 100,000 insurgents and their families had surrendered so far in the North East.
He explained that the theatre within six months of his leadership had undertaken several operations that recovered a huge cache of arms and ammunition from Ukuba in Sambisa Forest.
He expressed optimism that the Boko Haram crisis would end very soon while advising the troops not to give the terrorists a chance to recuperate, reorganise and start carrying out attacks.
Meanwhile, the incoming commander assured that he would do his best to continue to solicit the support of stakeholders to sustain the tempo of the operation.
