\nAbuja \u2013 The Defence Headquarters has disclosed that some Boko Haram
\nterrorists have begun to surrender with their weapons voluntarily
\nfollowing relentless onslaught by troops.<\/p>\n

This is contained in a statement posted on the DHQ website on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of them submitted themselves and their weapons to the leadership of
\nthe troops in Konduga during a further campaign at the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the heat on the terrorists continues, five terrorists surrendered on
\nSaturday (Sept. 20) with all their weapons to troops at Konduga pleading
\nfor mercy.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

According to the statement, other captured terrorists who refused to
\nsurrender have also been giving useful information on the subsequent plans
\nof the group in an apparent effort to cooperate.<\/p>\n

The DHQ recalled that in the last few days there had been several attempts
\nby desperate terrorists to gain entry into Konduga which were foiled by
\nthe troops.<\/p>\n

The terrorists\u2019 move, according to the statement, is aimed at recovering
\nthe bodies of their prominent fighters who died in previous encounters in
\nthe area.<\/p>\n

The DHQ also said that its troops had recovered more weapons during mop-up
\noperations while some of their terrorists\u2019 vehicles had been destroyed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
