A Civilian JTF was also launched to work alongside hunters and vigilantes to help tackle the terrorist sect.

According to Buratai, “the induction of Civilian JTF into the operation will greatly help in containing the activities of Boko Haram because of their knowledge of the terrain and identifying Boko Haram members”.

Zulum renewed his call on Boko Haram insurgents who are hiding in Sambisa forest and bushes in the fringes of Lake Chad to lay down their arms and surrender.

“For those that are still in the bush, terrorising innocent lives and destroying properties, I call upon all of them to surrender.
