Konduga: Overwhelmed Boko Haram terrorists surrender to Nigerian troops
Following the several defeats Boko Haram terrorists suffered in the hands of Special Forces of the Nigerian military, some of the insurgents have surrendered to the Nigerian armed forces even as some of them who were captured during encounters were said to be giving useful information to the troops.
The Defence headquarters which disclosed this yesterday also said the fresh attempt by Boko Haram to attack Konduga town was frustrated by the troops that inflicted a heavy defeat on them.
The terrorists were said to have attempted to infiltrate the town to avenge the deaths of hundreds of their members and to also retrieve their bodies Vanguard gathered that the renewed determination with which troops of the Nigerian military were now confronting the terrorists, had so much taken many of the insurgents aback that they now prefer to surrender when they are overwhelmed rather than get killed.
As at the early hours of Sunday, about 11 terrorists were said to have surrendered while many of those arrested, are now cooperating with the military and volunteering information about their plans and activities. Several dangerous weapons including Anti-Aircraft guns and Rocket Propelled Grenades, General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMG), AK 47 and ammunitions, were recovered during the confrontation.
Confirming the incident in its twitter handle, Defence Headquarters said, “An attempt by another set of terrorists to gain entry to Konduga was yesterday foiled by troops.
It is believed that the terrorists’ move was aimed at recovering the bodies of their prominent fighters who had died in previous encounters in the area”.
“And as the heat on terrorists continues, five terrorists yesterday surrendered with all their weapons to troops at Konduga pleading for mercy”. “Other captured terrorists have also been giving useful information on the subsequent plans of the group in an apparent offer to co-operate”

There is really nothing special about Efren except his unparalleled dedication to reforming kids in their poverty-stricken community in Cavite, Philippines.Efren Peñaflorida, Jr.’s sanity was questioned when people first saw him going around the neighborhood pushing his improvised cart loaded with food, books, paper, pencils, and other things you would commonly see in a classroom. Why, Efren goes around the neighborhood pushing a mobile classroom to peddle the love for education. He left his well-paying job as a private school teacher to devote all of his time and effort to his Kariton Klasrum project while his neighbors mock him.To make matters worse, his parents and brother did not see the point in his earnestness to get out-of-school youths interested in going back to school. For a family s...
