The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) says troops rescued at least 59 kidnapped victims and neutralised 11 terrorists during operations nationwide between Aug. 14 and Aug. 20.
The Director, Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Michael Onoja, said this in a statement on Saturday, on the military’s operational activities across the country during the period.

He said troops also rescued three victims from Gwamnare Forest in Bauchi and one 63-year-old Cameroonian national abducted along the Gwoza-Cameroon axis.
According to him, troops also neutralised three terrorists, recovered weapons and other war materiel, while 47 family members of terrorists and six fighters surrendered to troops in Borno.
