    Sources say the radical preacher, surrendered to troops 21 Special Armoured Brigade Bama on Sunday, May 16, 2022.

    Ari-Difinoma was said to have been forced out of his hideout following sustained artillery bombardment by troops of Operation Hadin Kai on the enclave where he and scores of Boko Haram members were hibernating.

    According to the source, another factor that compelled him to surrender to troops was the bloody infighting between the Boko Haram and its rival faction, ISWAP.

    This was confirmed by Zagazola Makama Counter Insurgency Expert and Security Analyst in the Lake Chad Zagazola Makama who added that the ISWAP launched a surprise attack against the Boko Haram at Ukuba, a camp of the Radical Preacher that had been repeatedly destroyed by the Nigerian troops but reoccupied by the terrorists.

    The attack forced the Boko Haram terrorists to flee. Consequently, the radical preacher and others ran to hide in a small village located in the Community of Mantari, within the axis of Bama Local Government but were forced out of their hideout by hunger and unending artillery shillings by the Nigerian troops.

    “It was at that point that Mr Ari-Difinoma decided to abandon the rest of Hispanic colleagues and ran out to surrender himself”.
