The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has reported significant achievements in ongoing military operations across various regions of the country, including the South East, North West, North Central, and the Niger Delta. Over the past week, troops have eliminated five members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), in the South East.
In the North West, troops successfully neutralized a prominent terrorist leader, Kachalla Boka, while in the North Central, they captured a notorious terrorist commander known as Usman Maisaje. The military high command shared these updates in a statement issued on Friday by the Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba.
Buba detailed that in recent operations, troops killed a total of 91 terrorists, arrested 226 criminals, and rescued 157 kidnapped individuals. These efforts underscore the military’s ongoing commitment to combating insecurity and restoring peace in the affected regions.
In the Niger Delta, troops focused on dismantling illegal refining activities and arrested 45 individuals involved in oil theft. They destroyed 60 illegal refining sites, seized 712,535 litres of crude oil, and dismantled various facilities used in the illicit operations, including four dugout pits, 48 boats, 52 drums, 38 storage tanks, and 55 cooking ovens.
Furthermore, the military recovered a significant cache of weapons and ammunition during these operations. According to Buba, troops recovered a total of 71 assorted weapons, including 50 AK-47 rifles, 16 fabricated rifles, 5 dane guns, 5 pump-action guns, 5 locally made pistols, one revolver pistol, and 16 AK-47 magazines. Additionally, they seized 1,463 rounds of assorted ammunition.
These ongoing military efforts highlight the commitment of the Defence Headquarters to ensuring the safety and security of all citizens by actively engaging criminal elements and dismantling their operations. The DHQ reiterated its resolve to sustain these operations and urged the public to support the military’s efforts by providing timely information that could help combat these threats more effectively.
