Shekau will surrender
Meanwhile, a 32-year-old former Boko Haram Commander, Rawana Gon, has appealed to the Nigerian military authorities to allow him make a phone call to the elusive leader, Abubakar Shekau and at least 137 other terrorists to make them surrender.
Goni claimed to have held several positions in ten different cells of Boko Haram in Sambisa.
The former commander said the last position he held was the Chief officer of Dispute Resolution for the group.
