24 Terrorists Killed in Six Days as Troops Intensify Offensive Operations
In a sustained push against insurgency and criminal elements, Nigerian troops have eliminated at least 24 terrorists in multiple operations carried out over a six-day period. The intensified offensive highlights the military’s renewed resolve to restore peace and security across volatile regions.
According to security sources, the coordinated operations targeted terrorist hideouts across parts of the North-East and North-West, resulting in the destruction of camps and recovery of arms and ammunition. Ground troops, supported by airstrikes, carried out precision attacks that neutralized several high-value targets.
Military authorities confirmed that the operations were part of a broader strategy to dismantle terror cells and block supply routes used by insurgents. The offensives have also led to the rescue of kidnapped civilians, including women and children, and the arrest of key collaborators suspected of providing logistical support to terrorist groups.
The Defence Headquarters commended the troops for their bravery and reaffirmed its commitment to ending terrorism in all its forms. It also urged citizens to support the armed forces with timely intelligence and to remain vigilant.
Communities previously under siege are reportedly witnessing increased stability, as displaced residents begin to return to their homes. The military’s intensified operations are being seen as a positive step toward long-term peace and the eventual defeat of terrorism in Nigeria.
With continued momentum and cooperation from local populations, security experts believe that these recent gains could significantly weaken the operational capabilities of terror groups in the region.
