Col. Sani Usman said: “It will be recalled that we have repeatedly stated that surrender is the only option available to insurgents as the Nigerian Army and Nigerian Air Force in conjunction with other security agencies are totally committed to the achievement of the three-month presidential deadline for the eradication of terrorism in Nigeria.”

He said: “Other terrorists are encouraged to also surrender or face total annihilation, as the new name of the operation states ‘achievement of total peace is a must,” he said, adding “Citizens are please requested to continue providing useful information to security agencies that will lead to apprehension of all known terrorists.”
