The Nigerian Army has announced significant successes in its ongoing counter-terrorism operations, including the capture of Boko Haram commanders, arrest of logistic suppliers, and rescue of kidnap victims.
On August 4, troops apprehended two Boko Haram commanders, Bana Yamode and Babagana Usman, at the Damasak Internally Displaced Persons camp in Borno State.
Additionally, two suspected logistic suppliers, Mallam Mustapha Ismaila and Abdulmudalabi Haruna, were arrested, and two minors were rescued.
In a separate operation, 50 Boko Haram suspects and their families surrendered to troops in Bama, Gwoza, and Dikwa Local Government Areas. Meanwhile, three Boko Haram collaborators were arrested at Gubio Market in Yobe State, and a notorious kidnapping kingpin, Mohammed Bello, was arrested in Kogi State.
Troops also responded to distress calls regarding kidnapping incidents in Ebonyi and Kogi States, aborting the attempts and arresting suspects. Furthermore, troops recovered looted items from hoodlums in Jigawa and Plateau States.
The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, commended the troops for their commitment and successes, urging the public to support security agencies with credible information to enhance ongoing operations.
