The Nigerian Military has disclosed that it will accept an offer of the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau if he decides to surrender and agrees to follow the required procedures.
The Coordinator of the Directorate of Defence Media Operations (DDMO), Major General John Enenche, stated on Friday during an interview on Channels TV that there are laid down procedures and international standard for surrendering during conflict or war.
He said;
“Shekau’s recently released videos are subjected to forensic analysis. There are rumours that they are ready to surrender. If the insurgents truly want to surrender, there is a procedure to do that. If he (Shekau) surrenders through the procedure, we will accept it.”
Recall that the Military had recently said that with the grand offensive mounted by the Armed Forces of Nigeria against Boko Haram and the Islamic State for West African Province (ISWAP), the body language of Shekau, is that of surrender.
