About 18 members of
the Boko Haram Islamist militant group and their families have surrendered to the
Nigerian military after clashes in the northern state of Borno between factions
loyal to the group’s founder, Abubakar Shekau, and the new head Abu Musab
Albarnawi.
According to Ali
Mohammed, a member of the Civillian JTF, the factional clash between the two
groups may have allowed the repentant terrorists to sneak out of camp and
surrender.
The estranged
leader of the sect, Abubakar Shekau may have died as a result of wounds
sustained during an air strike by the Nigerian Airforce, on the Sambisa forest
on August 19.
