12 wives of Boko Haram militants have surrendered to members
of Civilian JTF in Borno. The women surrendered after their
husbands abandoned them in the bush. The women when
interrogated said their husbands left them in the forest due to
lack of food and fuel supply.

A Leader of state vigilante group in Mussa District in Askira-
Uba local government area of Borno state, Apagu Istifanus, said
the women surrendered between Monday and Tuesday this
week..

''On Monday 4 of them came to Askira after thorough
investigation, they told us that their husbands could no
longer feed them that they are many in the bush but
more were still coming, they have been taken to Biu
town for more information. Yesterday at about 4 pm
another 8 surfaced again, two of them several months
pregnant,. Their husbands had left them and their
children at Ngude village in Damboa local government
area. But we have handed over to the military. They
have moved them to Mubi,'' Apagu said.
