The Defence Headquarters has disclosed that its troops are yielding desired results ranging from denying safe havens to terrorists and oil thieves as well as destroying their command and control facilities.
The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Edward Buba, made this known in a statement on Friday, October 20.
He said the operations are winning the war against terrorists and oil thieves, noting they have killed and captured the criminals’ leaders and facilitators in several operations across the country.
Buba said, “Accordingly, the insurgents and terrorists are in perpetual mourning as they constantly bury their dead and would continue to do so.
“Our communities across the country have risen to the occasion in exposing these elements and it is making a tremendous impact on operations as they no longer have a hiding place.
“The actions and activities of the armed forces in the ongoing counter-insurgency and counter-terrorist operations are integral to the plan of focusing military pressure on these terrorists and extremists to cause them to submission.
“The operations are yielding desired results ranging from denying safe havens to these groups to the destruction of their command and control facilities as well as training facilities.”
“The military is in a good fight and is winning in this war. Our operations have killed or captured several terrorist and insurgent leaders as well as their facilitators and key associates.”
