The Defence Headquarters (DHQ), says Nigerian troops, in various operations, eliminated several terrorists and bandits across the various theatres of operation in North East, North Central and North West.
The director, defence media operations, Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, said this while briefing newsmen on the operations of the armed forces of Nigeria on Thursday in Abuja.
Mr Buba said the operational successes were achieved in the last two weeks in various land and air operations.
In the North East, he said troops of Operation Hadin Kai neutralised some terrorists and arrested high-profile terrorist collaborators in Mafa, Kukawa and Konduga local government areas (LGAs) of Borno.
According to him, active terrorists and fighters also surrendered to troops owing to sustained onslaught against them, although they claimed that they had lost interest in the terrorist ideology.
He said that the air component of Operation Hadin Kai conducted several air operations against terrorists’ enclaves and their logistics bases and degraded them.
According to him, the air component conducted air reconnaissance and intelligence at terrorists’ hideouts in Hyawa in Borno, with bombs.
