4,000-BOKO HARAM FIGHTERS NEGOTIATE SURRENDER AFTER BEING SURROUNDED

About 6,000 Boko Haram fighters are encircled by soldiers from the Multi National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) around Madagali and Gulak and are negotiating a possible surrender as the noose tightens.

Since 2009, Boko Haram has been waging a brutal war against Nigeria in a bid to establish an Islamic caliphate and over the last year has enjoyed substantial success on the battlefield. It scored military success, making sweeping gains across Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States, capturing 13 local government areas.
Alarmed by the raging success of the terrorists, Nigeria, Niger Republic, Chad and Cameroon decided to form the MNJTF that would enable to cooperate militarily. Over the last week, the MNJTF has enjoyed significant success, particularly with the arrival of battle-hardened Chadian troops who over the weekend reclaimed the town of Gamboru-Ngala near the Chad border with Nigeria.
In a further setback for Boko Haram, Nigerian troops were able to repel two spirited attacks on the Borno State capital Maiduguri, killing as many as 500 terrorists and seizing a large cache of weapons. Rather surprisingly, a British-made Vickers tank was among the armour seized, as were artillery guns, scores of pick-up trucks, anti-aircraft guns and rocket-propelled grenades.
