Tuesday, September 1, 2026 - A suspected family member of terrorists, Mrs Yaganama Abdul, 45, has surrendered to troops of the Nigerian Army alongside her two children in Mafa Local Government Area of Borno State.
Security analyst Zagazola Makama reports that Abdul
surrendered to troops of 112 Task Force Battalion at about 4:00 p.m. on Auguat
28, 2026 after escaping from the Burari terrorist enclave.
The two children who accompanied her were identified as
Yafatai Abdul, 9, and Guja Abdul, 4.
Preliminary interrogation conducted by the troops indicated
that the family escaped from the enclave following violent clashes between
rival terrorist factions operating in the area.
The escapees were subsequently profiled and documented by
the troops as part of ongoing security and intelligence procedures.
According to Zagazola, the development provides security
agencies with an opportunity to obtain further information on activities and
internal dynamics within the terrorist enclave, particularly amid reported
clashes between rival factions.
The surrender also underscores the continued pressure being
exerted on terrorist groups through sustained military operations and
intelligence-led activities across the North-East.
Meanwhile, the general security situation across the theatre
remains calm but unpredictable, while troops’ morale and fighting efficiency
remain satisfactory.
Security forces continue to maintain operations aimed at
degrading terrorist networks, protecting communities and encouraging persons
seeking to disengage from terrorist groups to surrender through established
channels.
