Lawal Kwalba, a notorious terrorist commander, has surrendered to Nigerian troops, according to an announcement on the Nigerian Army’s verified Facebook page.
The statement, seen on Facebook by The National Telescope, revealed that Kwalba turned himself in on Tuesday, May 28, 2024, following intensified military operations targeting terrorist enclaves in Kaduna State.
“The troops’ relentless operational activities have been pivotal in pressuring terrorist factions, leading to Kwalba’s decision to surrender with his fighters,” the Facebook post explained.
This development marks a crucial step in the ongoing fight against terrorism in Kaduna State and the broader region.
During the surrender, troops recovered two AK-47 rifles, a motorbike, and two magazines loaded with 7.62 mm special ammunition.
The army authorities stated that Kwalba is currently undergoing thorough profiling at a military facility.
This process is expected to provide valuable insights that could aid in dismantling the remaining terrorist networks.
