The Nigerian Army has made significant progress in recent operations, including the arrest of four suspected kidnappers of retired Major General Richard Duru in Imo State.
The suspects were apprehended with a substantial amount of arms and ammunition, and they attempted to bribe the troops with N5 million, which was rejected.
Instead, the Army seized N5,048,105, three vehicles, six laptops, and a cash-counting machine from the suspects.
In Borno State, on August 27, 2024, Nigerian troops ambushed Boko Haram terrorists at Logomani village, resulting in the death of five terrorists and the recovery of one AK-47 rifle, a magazine, and two bicycles.
In a separate operation in Gwoza local government area, 11 Boko Haram fighters and their family members surrendered, citing the overwhelming firepower of the Nigerian Army.
In Yobe State, troops ambushed Boko Haram terrorists in Wulle village, killing two and recovering an FN rifle, a magazine, and a bicycle.
Additionally, in Anambra State, the Army arrested Sunday Ofordimze Asika, a notorious member of the Indigenous People of Biafra/Eastern Security Network (IPOB/ESN), known for terrorizing communities in Aguta local government area.
Items seized from him include six cartridges, five machetes, a laptop, a vehicle, and assorted charms.
In Cross River State, during a waterway patrol in Ikang village, troops intercepted an automated wooden boat used by armed criminals. The suspects fled, leaving behind a pump-action rifle, three cartridges, a 40 HP boat engine, and N50,500.
These operations highlight the ongoing efforts by the Nigerian Army to combat terrorism and criminal activities across the country.
