Troops of 23 Brigade Nigerian Army under Operation LAFIYA DOLE on Wednesday arrested three suspected Boko Haram terrorists at Ngurore, Adamawa State.

This was made known in the pictures shared on the Twitter handle of Defence headquarters Nigeria hours ago.

The troops who acted on a tip-off gave the names of the suspects as Adam Yagga, Musa Kamsulum and Abba Djidoum, all from Darajimal in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State.

It said one of the suspects, Djidoum who was with series of gunshot wounds on his thigh, confessed to have operated with the Boko Haram terrorists at fringes of Izza, Wudula and Blakule in Bama Local Government Area of Borno state.

The suspects are currently undergoing preliminary investigation with 23 Brigade Provost Company.

It said,

“We commend patriotic members of Civilian vigilante (Civilian JTF) for their resilience and continued cooperation with troops, and urge members of the public to emulate their vigilance and security consciousness by reporting any suspicious persons or objects to the nearest military location.”

The Nigerian Army reminded repentant Boko Haram fighters that the window of opportunity to embrace the Federal Government Amnesty program is still open for them to surrender and lay down their weapons.

It, however, noted that the troops’ morale remains high as they dominate the general area with a robust fighting patrol in continuation with the clearance operations.
