The Nigerian Army has said security forces are
aware of the hideouts and strongholds of terror
group, Boko Haram, in the country.
The Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sani
Usman, urged the insurgents to embrace the peace
option and surrender as the troops were already
closing in a statement on Sunday.
Usman called on Nigerians to persuade the
insurgents to renounce their membership of the
deadly sect.
He said, "This is to once again warn all Boko Haram
terrorists, wherever they are, to desist from all acts
of terrorism, surrender themselves and face the law
now. We wish to inform them that we are aware of
all their hideouts, camps and enclaves.
"They should follow their colleagues, who have so
far surrendered. Failure to surrender will result in
serious consequences as our troops are fast
closing up on them.
"We equally appeal to all Nigerians to kindly
persuade them to desist and renounce their
membership of the terrorist organisation forthwith."
