Jacob Segun Olatunji

The Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Musa Danmadami, has stated that the military troops have neutralized scores of Boko Haram and Islamic West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorist groups and recovered N2.3 million in the North-East zone of the country.

He added that 974 terrorists and their family members surrendered to troops in the Northeast in the past two weeks.

The troops conducted both kinetic and non-kinetic operations in the various theatres of operations, with significant outcomes recorded.

Major General Danmadami also condemned those Nigerians calling for the formation of an Interim Government come May 29 this year in place of a democratically elected Government, describing it as unconstitutional.

He explained that the Armed Forces of Nigeria does not support this because it’s unconstitutional and that the Independent National Electoral Commission has conducted elections and results declared anything short of it.

In the North-East zone of the country, troops of Operation Hadin Kai have sustained the offensive operation to curb the activities of Boko Haram terrorists/Islamic State of West Africa Province terrorists in the Joint Area of Operations within the zone.

The troops have conducted offensive operations in villages in Bama, Askira Uba and Mafa Local Government Areas of Borno State, neutralizing seven terrorists while others fled.

Troops also recovered various weapons and items from the terrorists. In addition, troops have arrested suspected terrorists’ logistics couriers and suppliers, and rescued kidnapped civilians in different parts of the zone.
