Embrace peace – Army begs Boko Haram to surrender

The Nigerian Army on Sunday, June 13, advised Boko Haram terrorists to surrender and embrace peace.

The advice was given by Brig- Gen Eyitayo, the general officer commanding (GOC) 7 Division, at an event organised for journalists by the army in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital.

The military commander stated that the Boko Haram terrorists are now in disarray after suffering several blows from the military.

He said surrendering would avail the insurgents the opportunity to enjoy rehabilitation and acquire skills to enable them to live a useful life in society.

He said, “We are not here for bloodletting, nobody is happy that people are dying. “Some of them (Boko Haram insurgents) are listening to the media so it is good for us to appeal to them through the media to shun violence, turn up to seek forgiveness and reconciliation.’’
