Nigerian Army announced Kwalba's surrender via its official X handle (formerly Twitter), saying the terrorist commander turned himself in on Thursday May 28, 2024, following intensified military operations targeting terrorists enclaves in the state.

The statement stated that troops' relentless operational activities pressured the terrorist faction led by Kwalba to surrender with his fighters.

"This development marks a crucial step in the ongoing fight against terrorism in Kaduna State and the broader region," the statement reads.
