The Special Operations Corps said in a statement late on Friday that the bandidos gunnies surrendered to Special Forces in Achin district.
The statement further added that the ISIS bandidos gunnies also handed over 10 Ak-47 assault rifles to Special Forces.

Life Under Daesh was ‘Bitter’
[ToloNews] Nangarhar residents say roads, houses, and farmers’ fields were laid waste in Bandar Valley in Achin district.
Afghan cops cleared a valley in the district of Achin in Nangarhar that had been a ISIS stronghold since 2014.
Local residents said they had a "bitter experience" during the ISIS presence in ’Bandar Valley,’ a remote part of Achin district which lies along the Durand Line, the de facto border between Afghanistan and Pakistain.
The Khorasan branch of ISIS "no longer operates in Nangarhar" said the Ministry of Defense in a statement last week, which also claimed that up to 800 members of the groupâincluding family membersâsurrendered to Afghan forces.
TOLOnews journalist Gulabuddin Ghubar, who visited the areas cleared of ISIS in Achin, said the group had dug tunnels between houses and built fortified areas. These areas, Ghubar said, were targeted by Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
s just a few weeks ago.
Security officials interviewed by TOLOnews said that "public uprising forces" played an important role in eliminating ISIS in the area.
ISIS announced its so-called caliphate in Afghanistan for the first time from this valley, according to security officials.
The Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
reportedly claimed their pressure on ISIS has also suppressed the group in Achin.
Ghubar said that according to local residents, there was a healthcare center in the valley five years ago, but it was reduced to "rubble" after ISIS took control of the area.
"The houses are destroyed, the roads are destroyed, the schools are destroyed, the (agricultural) lands are destroyed," said Siraj, a resident of Bandar Valley, in Achin district.
Rokhsat, a young resident of the valley, said he and his brother were held captive by ISIS members for ten days, and after he was released he took up a gun against the group and joined forces with the public uprising against ISIS.
"I get angry when I think about their (ISIS) oppressive treatment of me and the residents of this village," he said.
The group had a bomb-making center in the area, according to local residents, which was destroyed.
Shams Rahman, a former member of ISIS who surrendered to Afghan forces last week, said he was 12-years-old when he joined the bully boy group.
"Leaving the group was very difficult," he said.
"They had a special madrassa for children, and they had special books for it," according to Sayed Zaki, another former ISIS member.
Nangarhar officials claim that the group has been defeated in the province.
Most members of the group are from Pakistain, according to two security officials who asked to remain anonymous.
"They (ISIS) are still in Takhto and Shandawolo (villages) but their numbers are less. They cannot resist there, because their supply route has been cut off," said Nangarhar governor Shah Mahmood Miakhel.

visited Nangarhar province on Nov. 19 and commended the Afghan forces for their success against ISIS.
He said the "elimination" of ISIS in the province is a major achievement not only for Afghanistan, but for the region and the world.
