During a press briefing held in Abuja on Thursday, the Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, shared details reflecting the concerted efforts of the Nigerian military in combating terrorism and related criminal activities.

The operations led to the elimination of 481 terrorists, apprehension of 741 suspects, and the rescue of 492 individuals from kidnapping situations. Furthermore, troops successfully recovered a substantial arsenal, including 480 weapons alongside 9,026 assorted rounds of ammunition. Among these were 263 AK47 rifles, 81 locally fabricated guns, and 76 pump-action guns, indicating a robust offensive against armed insurgents.

Maj.-Gen. Buba emphasized the military’s strategy to undermine the operational capabilities of terrorist groups through coordinated strikes on their enclaves across the nation. The Air Force has been pivotal in these endeavors, executing precise bombardments that significantly diminished the terrorists’ combat capabilities.

In the North-East, these operations notably included synchronized air and ground assaults, resulting in the neutralization of 198 terrorists and the rescue of 156 hostages. Additionally, a total of 257 former Boko Haram and ISWAP combatants and their families surrendered during this period.

The operations extended to the North-Central and Northwest regions, where 50 violent extremists were neutralized, and 202 suspects apprehended, alongside 165 kidnap rescues. In the Northwest, 163 terrorists were neutralized, and the troops maintained a focus on establishing a secure environment conducive to agricultural and socio-economic activities.

Despite the tragic loss of Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. T.A. Lagbaja, Maj.-Gen. Buba reiterated the steadfast commitment of the armed forces to continue their mission undeterred. The military’s resolve to combat terrorism remains unwavering, inspired by the legacy and dedication of their late commander.

These achievements reflect a determined and strategic response to the complex security challenges facing Nigeria, as the military aims to restore peace and stability in affected regions.

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth wing has voiced strong condemnation regarding the reported summoning of Mr. Chijioke Ezugwu, the Uzo-Uwani local government chairman, by the Enugu State police command. This follows recent violence in Uzo-Uwani, where suspected herdsmen have allegedly killed numerous residents, prompting local security efforts.

According to reports, Mr. Ezugwu was questioned regarding alleged killings of herdsmen. Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide President, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, has called the summon unacceptable, lamenting the perceived lack of police action against the alleged perpetrators of the Uzo-Uwani attacks while criticizing the swiftness in summoning the council chairman.

Mr. Okwu stated that the situation in Uzo-Uwani is underreported and severe, marked by frequent abductions and attacks. He criticized the police for allegedly failing to apprehend those responsible for violence, including the murder of an elderly couple.
