A top security source told the publication that some commanders surrendered along with their families to 26 task force brigade in Gwoza.

 

“I think what we are seeing now is as a result of the death of Abubakar Shekau; his death has affected the group. A total of 120 Boko Haram members and their families surrendered in Gwoza town today,” the source said

 

Another source said the ex-fighters came with only their clothes and bicycles. The source added that the fact that they did not drop any firearm created doubt among the residents.
