The Theatre Commander, Operation Hadin Kai, Major General Christopher Musa, says over 79,000 insurgents comprising combatants and non combatants have so far surrendered to the Nigerian military.
The Theatre Commander notes that the sustained onslaught on the insurgents under the kinetic and non-kinetic approaches had led to the mass surrender.
According to him, this led to need to have additional camps in Maiduguri to host the repentants that were being sorted out to identify the combatants and non-combatants.
Meanwhile, the General Officer Commanding, 7 Division Nigerian Army Major General Waidi Shuaibu, disclosed that within the period under review, three more Chibok girls were also rescued.
The girls found are Falmata Lawan, Asabe Ali and Jinkal Yama, whose names are on serial number 3, 12 and 20 respectively on the list of abducted Chibok girls.
The girls were rescued separately in Bama axis on August 30, September 1 and September 2 respectively.
