[Some 7,000 members of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) and Boko Haram have surrendered in northeast Nigeria in the past week, according to local media reports.
On Wednesday, the News Agency of Nigeria quoted Major General Christopher Musa, a top commander in the region, as saying that an onslaught targeting ISWAP and Boko Haram fighters has continued to record significant success.
Musa said at least 7,000 Boko Haram and ISWAP members surrendered in the last week during the operations.
This is evident as thousands of the insurgents comprising combatants, non-combatants, foot soldiers, alongside their families, continued to lay down their arms in different parts of Borno to accept peace, he said.]
I consider this to be very good/productive news indeed. There's more text and a photo

Note: Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) have been
allied together.
