Boko Haram In Distress As Flood, Hunger, Ravage Insurgents

Hundreds of Boko Haram insurgents and their families have deserted their camps as flood wreaked havoc on their enclaves, forcing them to move to safe locations on the fringes of Samibas Forest, Daily Trust has learnt.

Daily Trust had earlier reported how 70 fighters got drowned and over 200 insurgents, including five commanders, were killed following the airstrikes by the Nigerian military at the weekend. It was gathered that the overflow of the Yedzaram River affected several insurgents’ camps in Sheuri, Kumshe ward and Gaizuwa axis Sunday morning and prompted the relocation.

It was further learnt that the insurgents had run out of logistics and weapons, and relocated pending when they would get supply and strategise.

Similarly, Goni Farooq, a top Boko Haram commander reportedly surrendered to the troops at Banki Junction in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State on Sunday.

The security source revealed that he came out with a motorcycle, RPG, Anti- Aircraft gun, AK47, 5 magazines with live ammunition, solar panels and clothes among others.

GWG had earlier reported optimism on the part of the Federal Government that the insurgency was lessening with the series of successes made by the gallant troops and officers of the military against the insurgents.

The flood that has ravaged the Boko Haram insurgents will be seen as adding to the prayers against the insurgency.
