Sulaiman Bala, a lieutenant-commander and the spokesman of the Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) VICTORY, says the Navy has dismantled a suspected militant’s hideout at the Ine Ikoridung coastal settlement in Cross River State.
He said the militants used the settlement to terrorise coastal communities in the state.
Mr Bala, in a statement on Monday, said no arrest was made, but some items were recovered during the operation.
He said the development was part of sustained offensive operations against militants operating within the Dayspring axis.
According to him, troops conducted an intelligence-led raid on the coastal settlement where the militants relocated.
