Nigerian Troops Free 49 Abducted Civilians, kill 50 Terrorists 

The Nigerian troops have neutralized 50 terrorists and apprehended 114 others within a week in various operations across the North-East, North-Central and North-West regions of the country.

Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, disclosed this while briefing newsmen on the operations of the Armed Forces on Thursday in Abuja.

Buba said the troops also rescued 49 kidnapped hostages within the week.

“Troops of Operation Hadin Kai in the North East had sustained onslaught against Boko Haram and Islamic States of West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists, leading to the surrender of some of their fighters in Borno and Yobe,” he said.

Buba said the troops also recovered 17 AK47 rifles, one AK47 rifle loaded with 21 rounds of 7.62mm special ammo, one hand grenade, 137 rounds of 7.62mm special ammo and four mobile phones.

According to him, the troops also neutralised 12 terrorists, arrested 26 and rescued six kidnapped hostages in the region.

He added that the air component of Operation Hadin Kai conducted air interdiction around Damboa-Maiduguri and Gwoza-Madagali areas, during which some terrorists were sighted and neutralised with rockets.

In the North Central, Buba said troops of Operation Safe Haven while on fighting patrol, arrested suspected kidnappers in Kanam and Sanga Local Government Areas of Plateau and Kaduna states within the period.
