Troops of the Nigerian Army have killed 47 terrorists, rescued over 30 kidnapped victims and arrested 19 criminal suspects across several theatres of operation within the last 72 hours.
The Nigerian Army disclosed this on Wednesday via a statement, saying the major operational successes recorded by its operatives included the recovery of a cache of arms, ammunition and other logistics.
According to the statement, these coordinated land and air operations underscore the army’s sustained offensive against terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, and other criminal elements threatening national security.
It added that in the North West and North Central regions of the country, troops conducted aggressive ground operations based on credible intelligence.
“In Sokoto State, troops from forward operating bases in Binji and Tangaza Local Government Areas (LGAs) neutralised three Lakurawa terrorists during successful ambushes, recovering one AK-47 rifle, a motorcycle, communication radios, mobile phones and other items,” the statement read.
