Chukwu made the call when the Nigerian army troops arrested three Boko Haram suspects from Ngurore in Borno State.
He
added that the troops of 23 Brigade Nigerian Army under Operation
LAFIYA DOLE yesterday acting on a tip off arrested 3 suspected Boko
Haram terrorists at Ngurore.
The suspects, Adam Yagga, Musa Kamsulum and Abba Djidoum were all from Darajimal in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State.
The
statement added that one of the suspects, Abba Djidoum, had series of
gunshot wounds on his thigh and that he confessed to have operated with
the Boko Haram terrorists at the fringes of Izza, Wudula and Blakule in
Bama Local Government Area of Borno State.
Chukwu added that the suspects were undergoing preliminary investigation with the 23 Brigade Provost Company.
The
statement reads in part “We commend patriotic members of the 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.
“We
wish to remind repentant Boko Haram fighters that the window of
opportunity to embrace the Federal Government Amnesty program is still
open to them to surrender and lay down their weapons.”
“It
is also gratifying to report that the troops' morale remains high as
they dominate the general area with a robust fighting patrol in
continuation with the clearance operations”.
