The Defense Headquarters has reported significant progress in ongoing operations across the country, resulting in a substantial weakening of terrorist groups. During the month under review, Troops neutralized 1,166 terrorists and arrested 1,096 suspected terrorists and criminal elements, while also rescuing 721 kidnapped hostages. Among those taken off the battlefield were key terrorist leaders and commanders, including Munir Arika, Sani Dilla, and Ameer Modu in the Northeast, and Kachalla Dan Ali Garin Fadama, Sani Baka Tsine, and Ibrahim in the Northwest. The strategy of dismantling these terror groups by targeting their leadership, commanders, and collaborators is significantly diminishing their capacity to carry out major offensives. Additionally, the military recovered 391 weapons, over 15,000 rounds of ammunition, and disrupted oil theft activities worth over N5 billion.
