The Director, Defence Media Operations, Major General Benard Onyeuko, disclosed this during the biweekly update on the Armed Forces of Nigeria operations covering June 30 to July 14, 2022.

He said the troops of Operation HADIN KAI have continued to take the battle to Boko Haram Terrorists/Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) enclaves where on July 13, 2022, six top terrorist commanders surrendered to own Troops in Gwoza.

“It is pertinent to note that since the surrendering of terrorists to own troops the high calibre of Commanders surrendered at this time is unprecedented among them a WALI (Governor) and KAID (a 3 star Commander),” he said.

He listed the surrendered terrorists as; Mallam Mala Hassan (WALI), Ali Madagali (MUNZUR), Musa Bashir (CHIEF ANUR), Buba Dahiru (MUNZUR), Jafar Hamma (KAID) and Abbali NAKIB Polisawa.
