A statement by Army spokesman Colonel Sani Usman said: “We wish to inform them that we are aware of all their hideouts, enclaves.”

He added that: “They should follow their colleagues who have so far surrendere­d. Failure to surrender will result in serious consequenc­es as our troops have closed up with them.”

The army spokesman also appealed to members
