The wife of Mamman Nur, the factional leader of Boko Haram, is reportedly among the many members of the group that were killed in the Lake Chad region after a heavy bombardment by the Nigerian military, reports have said.
The military said she died in the confrontation that got her husband severely injured.
Premium Times quotes the spokesperson of the Operation Lafiya Dole Theatre Command in Maiduguri, Onyema Nwachukwu, as saying at least 250 Boko Haram fighters on the side of Mamman Nur (Albarnawi camp) surrendered.
The statement reportedly warned residents of Kano, Yobe and Jigawa states to be vigilant as some of the dislodged Boko Haram fighters have moved to the border villages in those areas.
“About 250 foot soldiers from the Albarnawy camp have surrendered to Nigerien authorities due to the devastating artillery and aerial bombardments by Operation Lafiya Dole troops.
“Many of the insurgents who fled the onslaught are now taking advantage of the ‘AMNESTY’ offered by the Nigerien government by surrendering to Nigerien Forces,”he said, adding that“fleeing from the ongoing offensive are senior and junior commanders in the Albarnawy faction who are now attempting to melt into other communities in and around Kano, Geidam and Gashua axis unnoticed. “Members of the general public, particularly in Kano, Geidam, Gashua, Hadeja and the northern part of Jigawa are therefore enjoined to be vigilant and watch out for strange faces suddenly appearing in their communities and promptly report same to security agencies.”

According to a fresh report from army's spokesperson, SK Usman, the troops on Operation Lafiya Dole on the night of Friday, January 5, attacked a Boko Haram hideout.
