Also, the Theatre Commander, North East “Operation Hadin Kai”, Maj.-Gen. Christopher Musa, said over 79,000 insurgents comprising combatants and non-combatants have so far surrendered.

The sources said that Bulabuduwaye was among the Commanders who fled the last year’s invasion of the terror group’s stronghold in the Sambisa forest area by a column of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters, in May 2021 which resulted in the death of its Leader Abubakar Shekau.

On why Bulabuduwaye decided to surrender to the authorities,

“He broke away after refusing to pledge his allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS), to form a camp in Kote village in the axis of Banki, where he was hiding with other fighters,” the source said.

“He surrendered due to the sustained intensified intelligence-led Air Strikes, heavy artillery bombardment, and ground, offensives by the Nigerian Military troops of Operation Hadin Kai.

“It was difficult for him to access food and other logistics coupled with the flooding which already ravaged most of their settlement. He also fears battlefield elimination by ISWAP, being one of those fingered to be eliminated for refusing to pay allegiance,” the source concluded.
