A 25 year old woman, once tied to Boko Haram's violent core as the wife of a slain commander, has surrendered to Nigerian troops in Konduga, Borno State, arriving with her toddler son amid relentless military pressure.
Kaltum Dalha turned herself in to troops at the Forward Operating Base around 11:00 a.m. on February 26 2026, coming from Sabsawa Village alongside her two year old child Awana Dalha. Preliminary investigations by Operation Hadin Kai revealed her husband, the terrorist commander of the Mairam Buri enclave, was recently neutralized in a firefight.
The loss of her spouse directly compelled her surrender, sources close to the operation confirmed. During interrogation she confirmed the group's disintegration following the commander's elimination.
Thie intensified offensives by Operation Hadin Kai in recent months have neutralized multiple terrorist commanders, led to arrests, recovery of arms and ammunition.
