Troops conducting fighting patrols and clearance operations across various theatres of operation have rescued 10 kidnapped victims, arrested seven suspected terrorists and criminal collaborators, and neutralised one terrorist in the past week.
The Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Michael Onoja, disclosed this on Friday, saying nationwide operations conducted between June 30 and July 3, 2026, also recorded the surrender of seven terrorists and their family members, alongside the recovery of arms, ammunition and other logistics.
According to Onoja, the operations achieved significant successes in countering terrorist attacks, rescuing kidnapped victims, recovering weapons and encouraging the continued surrender of terrorists due to sustained military pressure.
In the North-East, troops of Operation Hadin Kai, on June 30, arrested three suspected logistics suppliers and terrorist collaborators at a checkpoint along the Maiduguri-Gamboru Ngala Main Supply Route in Jere Local Government Area of Borno State.
