The military’s renewed push against Boko Haram may be yielding some choice dividends.
A civilian Joint Task Force leader in Mussa district in Askira-Uba local government, Borno state, Mr. Apagu Istifanus, has said that 12 wives of Boko Haram militants have surrendered to his team between Monday and Tuesday.
In his words, “On Monday, four of them came to Askira after thorough investigation, they told us that their husbands could no longer feed them that they are many in the bush but more were still coming, they have been taken to Biu town for more information.
“Yesterday (Tuesday) at about 4 pm, another eight surfaced again, two of them several months pregnant. Their husbands had left them and their children at Ngude village in Damboa local government area. But we have handed over to the military. They have moved them to Mubi,” Apagu said.
It seems the military’s strategy of cutting off Boko Haram’s supply lines and access to food and other deliveries is packing a punch.
