The statement issued by the Acting Director Army Public Relations, Col Sani Usman appealed to parents, families and friends of Boko Haram members to persuade them to "desist and renounce" their membership.
Read the full statement below.
This is to warn all Boko Haram terrorists wherever they are, to desist from all acts of terrorism, surrender themselves and face the law now.
We wish to inform them that we are aware of all their hideouts, camps and enclaves.
They should follow their colleagues who have so far surrendered. Failure to surrender will result in serious consequences as our troops are fast closing up with them.
We equally appeal to the parents, families and friends of all those involved in Boko Haram terrorists activities to kindly persuade them to desist and renounce their membership of the terrorist organization forthwith.
We also wish to appeal to the good people of the North Eastern part of the country, in particular those of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States to prevail on these terrorists to renounce their evil ways immediately.
