Borno: 25-year-old ISWAP fighter leaves terrorist group, surrenders to troops
A 25-year-old suspected Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP, fighter has surrendered to troops in Monguno Local Government Area of Borno State after spending about eight months with the terrorist group.
The development was reported by security analyst, Zagazola Makama, on Saturday, August 15, 2026, citing military sources.
The surrendered fighter was identified as Ali Gambo Kanuri, a native of Ngarinna village in Monguno LGA.
According to the report, Gambo joined the terrorist group about eight months ago after he was introduced by a friend.
Makama said he later became disillusioned with life inside the group and decided to leave.
“The former fighter was subsequently transferred to the appropriate authorities for further action in line with established procedures for persons who voluntarily disengage from terrorist groups,” the report stated.
Gambo reportedly made his way out of the terrorist-controlled area and surrendered to troops in Monguno town, where he was taken into custody for further processing.
