152 Terrorists Were killed in One Week -DHQ

The Defence Headquarters said Troops on operations across the country during the week killed a total of 152 terrorists and arrested 109.

They have also collected 183 firearms and 4,443 rounds of ammunition from terrorists and other offenders.

The military high command also announced the destruction of two notable terrorist commanders' strongholds: the Sadiku enclave at Tsora Hill in Safana Local Government Area, Katsina State, and the Yusuf Enclave in Yadi Forest, Giwa LG, Kaduna State.

In a statement by the Director of Media Operations, Edward Buba, the achievements by the troops were an indication that the military was steadily progressing towards the goal of destroying all criminal elements around the country.

He said, “The war against terrorists, insurgents, violent extremists and others perpetrating insecurity in the country rages, and troops are sustaining the momentum to achieve victory. Indeed, the armed forces are steadily progressing towards the goal of destruction of all these elements.

“Given recent events, the military learns every day and makes improvements on ways to better deal with threat situations posed by these terror groups. Troops are moving in against the terrorists and denying them freedom of action.

“During the week, troops carried out surgical operations against two prominent terrorist commanders and decimated their strongholds. Namely, Sadiku enclave in Tsora Hill in Safana LGA of Katsina State and Alhaji Yusuf enclave in Yadi Forest in Giwa LGA of Kaduna State.”

“Overall, troops operations during the week resulted in 152 terrorists neutralised, 109 arrested and 91 hostages rescued,“ Buba said.

The Spokesperson also noted that during the operations against crude oil theft, products worth N795 million were recovered in the South-South.

He said,” In the South-South, troops denied the oil theft of the estimated sum of N795,683,395.00 only. Furthermore, troops crippled crude oil theft activities at the following locations through air interdiction: Bugama, Idama, Cawtorne Channel and Krakrama, all in Rivers State. Troops also apprehended two female terrorist collaborators responsible for negotiations with relatives of victims for ransom,”.

Relatedly, The DHQ mentioned that 196 terrorists, comprising 19 adult males, 70 adult females and 107 children, surrendered to troops between August 28 and September 4.

The Spokesperson, however, encouraged citizens to support the troops to win the war against insecurity in the country.
