President Tinubu’s War On Terrorism Yields Results: Nigerian Army Kills Several Terrorists, Insurgents’ Family Members Surrender
The Nigerian Army has recorded significant successes in its fight against terrorism, with several terrorists killed and over a dozen family members of insurgents surrendering in recent operations. This development is a testament to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to winning the war against terrorism.
According to sources, troops operating under Operation Hadin Kai uncovered and neutralized 54 improvised explosive devices rigged in gas cylinders and wired in series beneath the Dikwa–Marte Bridge in Borno. The devices, planted by ISWAP/JAS insurgents, were meant to sabotage critical infrastructure.
In other operations, troops of the 7 Division Garrison, in conjunction with local hunters and hybrid forces, successfully launched coordinated ambushes, eliminating three terrorists at Platari and Komala in the Konduga LGA. Additionally, 222 Battalion troops repelled an attempted infiltration of the leader of an attempted infiltration of the Mandarari IDP Camp, neutralizing several insurgents in the process.
The Nigerian Army also reported the surrender of 14 family members of ISWAP/JAS fighters, consisting of eight women and six children. A teenage terrorist of Buduma descent also surrendered to troops of the 19 Brigade in Baga on July 5.
In the North-West zone, troops of the 8 Division Garrison neutralized a terrorist and recovered an AK-47 rifle and a motorcycle along the Takatsaba, Sabon Birni route in Sokoto. In the North-Central, troops of the 176 Guards Battalion intercepted two suspected arms couriers in possession of an AK-47 rifle along the Gwagwalada-Kuje road within Abuja.
These successes demonstrate the effectiveness of President Tinubu’s strategy in the war against terrorism and the Nigerian Army’s commitment to protecting the country and its citizens. The surrender of insurgents’ family members and the recovery of weapons and equipment are significant milestones in the fight against terrorism.
