have begun to surrender with their weapons voluntarily following
relentless onslaught by troops.
This is contained in a statement posted on the DHQ website on Sunday.
"Some of them submitted themselves and their weapons to the leadership
of the troops in Konduga during a further campaign at the weekend.
"As the heat on the terrorists continues, five terrorists surrendered
on Saturday (Sept. 20) with all their weapons to troops at Konduga
pleading for mercy.''
According to the statement, other captured terrorists who refused to
surrender have also been giving useful information on the subsequent
plans of the group in an apparent effort to cooperate.
The DHQ recalled that in the last few days there had been several
attempts by desperate terrorists to gain entry into Konduga which were
foiled by the troops.
The terrorists' move, according to the statement, is aimed at
recovering the bodies of their prominent fighters who died in previous
encounters in the area.
The DHQ also said that its troops had recovered more weapons during
mop-up operations while some of their terrorists' vehicles had been
destroyed.
