The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) on Friday assured that troops of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, across all theatres of operation, will sustain security for farmers throughout the farming season and beyond.
The military also revealed that several terrorists were killed, while many others were apprehended across all theatres of operations.
The Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Markus Kangye, in his weekly update, also revealed that a notorious terrorist had surrendered his weapons to troops of the Joint Task Force, North-East Operation Hadin Kai.
He stressed that the Armed Forces of Nigeria would continue to demonstrate its commitment to safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty and ensuring peace and stability.
According to him, “As part of its efforts to combat terrorism, insurgency, and other security threats, the Nigerian military, in conjunction with other security stakeholders, has successfully executed a number of strategic operations aimed at neutralising hostile elements and restoring security in affected regions.
“This update provides an overview of recent military engagements, highlights operational successes, and reaffirms the unwavering dedication of the Nigerian Armed Forces to protect and defend the nation’s citizens, infrastructure, and territorial integrity in order to achieve lasting peace and security in Nigeria.
“The renewed operational strategy has enabled our farmers to carry out farming activities unhindered. This effort will be sustained throughout the farming season and beyond.”
Troops of Operation Hadin Kai, he said, eliminated scores of terrorists, while five kidnapped victims were rescued.
“Following the intensity of our gallant troops’ firefights, a terrorist fighter belonging to the Abu Ayuba syndicate surrendered to troops in Kwayari village in Kaga Local Government Area of Borno State on 20 August 2025.
“The terrorist surrendered his weapon and ammunition and is willing to cooperate in non-kinetic negotiations for other members of the syndicate to surrender,” he said.
