Some of the surrendered terrorists

The Nigerian military has recorded a 213 per cent increase in the number of terrorist fighters and associates surrendering to troops in the North East within one week.

The development followed sustained operations by troops of Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) aimed at degrading terrorist capabilities and disrupting their logistics and supply networks across the theatre.

The Acting Military Information Officer, Headquarters Joint Task Force (North East), Captain Mohammed Goni, disclosed this in a statement released on X on Wednesday.

Goni said the operations included coordinated ground actions, engagements against identified terrorist positions and efforts to disrupt terrorist logistics and supply routes.
