Spokesman for the Nigerian military, Major-General Musa Danmadami says troops in theatre of operations in the North-East and North-West have recorded successes in the last two weeks.

Briefing reporters on Thursday at the Defence headquarters in Abuja, Mr Danmadami announced that Troops of Operations Hadin Kai and Hadarin Daji have eliminated no fewer than 44 terrorists and apprehended over 50 in North East and North West in the period under review.

In the North-East, Mr Danmadami said troops of operation Hadin Kai had between October 20 and November 2 apprehended 27 suspected Boko Haram and Islamic State of West Africa Province terrorists and neutralised 19.

Mr Danmadami added that the troops recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition of different categories as well as other logistics supplies during the period.

According to him, the air component had on October 21 conducted air interdiction mission on a terrorist convoy movement along Tunbum Aliyu, near Lake Chad, a terrorist location southwest of Maiduguri.

He said the strikes eliminated several terrorists as well as seven gun trucks and other materials.

“Similarly, based on credible intelligence of terrorist hibernating in enclaves in Abulum and Njibul near Sambisa forest, the air component struck the locations simultaneously and eliminated scores of terrorists while the injured ones were observed to be have scampered for safety.

“Also, troops in conjunction with the Civilian Joint Task Force on October 22, nabbed one suspect in possession of 67 Permanent Voter Cards at an IDPs Camp in Shuwari town in Maiduguri Municipal Council of Borno.

“Also, in the same camp, a known terrorist, Lawan Yashin, who attempted to escape upon sighting troops was neutralised.

“During the period in focus, a total of 145 Boko Haram Terrorists and their families comprising 30 adult males, 33 adult females and 82 children surrendered to troops at different locations within the North East theatre of operation,” Mr Danmadami said.

In North-West, the defence spokesman said troops of operations Hadarin Daji and Whirl Punch neutralised 25 terrorists, arrested 18 and rescued 19 civilians in different operations.

Mr Danmadami said the troops also recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition of different calibre as well as 441 rustled cattle.

“Notably, troops of Operation WHIRL PUNCH on 23 October 2022 responded to the presence of terrorist at Abasia-Amala villages, east of Polewire and Maidaro villages in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State and made contact with the terrorist.

“During the encounter, troops neutralised 2 terrorists, recovered 1 AK47 rifle, 2 magazines containing 38 rounds of 7.62mm special, 14 mobile phones, one Dane gun, 2 Baofeng radio as well as 11 motorcycles which were destroyed”.
