The terrorists are being held by the military for necessary security briefing, the DHQ said.

“Another Set of 10 Terrorists yesterday surrendered to Troops at #Kawuri. In custody for necessary security debriefing #VictoryforNigeria,” the military said.

The DHQ also denied the assertion that there was a raid in some parts of the country by the Cameroon Army affirming that all operations were being handled by the Nigerian troops.
