Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum has described as a welcome development, the ongoing surrender of Boko Haram terrorists.
Speaking on Thursday at a Town Hall meeting in Maiduguri, the state capital, the governor said thousands of the terrorists have surrendered.
According to him, there has been tremendous support from the security agents over the handling of the terrorists.
In his words, “The ongoing surrender of Boko Haram members is a welcome development. So far, thousands of them have surrendered. We have been receiving tremendous support from the Nigerian army, Nigerian police and DSS, and others at ensuring the success of this very process."
Zulum also assured that the state and federal governments are working hard to ensure proper handling of these processes.
However, the government has stated that the repentant terrorists will still face justice.
Nigeria has been battling with insurgency in the Northeast for many years but there seems to be a level of success in putting an end to it.
