In a series of coordinated operations across the country, troops of the Nigerian Army  have successfully neutralized a notorious Boko Haram commander along with other terrorist fighters.
In addition, numerous terrorists and their families have surrendered to the troops as a result of sustained pressure against their operations. Troops have also apprehended several criminal suspects and recovered arms and ammunition.
On 17 August 2024, the troops launched an offensive operation against a terrorist enclave in Bula Daloye, in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State. Following an intense firefight, the troops overpowered the terrorists, neutralizing three, including a wanted Boko Haram commander Abu Rijab.
The operation led to the recovery of two AK-47 rifles and mobile phones. Additionally, 8 terrorists and their families surrendered to troops in Gwoza Local Government Area.
The same troops also apprehended two suspects in Konduga Local Government Area with 52 bags of illicit drugs intended for supply to terrorists.
In a separate operation in Taraba State, troops acting on credible intelligence arrested the chairman of the Gassol Local Government Area Hunters’ Association, Alhaji Adamu Tanko, for selling an AK-47 rifle to a suspected terrorist.
The investigation revealed that the weapon had been recovered during a joint operation against terrorists in Boki Lamba, a border town with Plateau State.
Similarly, troops deployed in Plateau State responded to distress calls regarding suspicious movements by criminal elements in the Rikkos area of Jos North Local Government Area.
Troops arrested two criminal suspects and recovered a fabricated rifle and mobile phones containing images of various calibers of arms and ammunition.
The Chief of Army Staff has commended the troops for their resilience and commitment. He also expressed gratitude to the public for their continued support of the Nigerian Army, sister services, and other security agencies through credible and actionable information about criminal activities.
