No fewer than 438 Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists have been killed in seven months in various operations carried out by military joint task force, Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), in the North East.
The Theatre Commander, OPHK, North-east Sector 1, who made this known on Saturday at the Christmas Luncheon in Maiduguri said the operations were coordinated between May and December.
The army general said that the Christmas celebration coincided with their dry season operations in the Theatre.
He, however, assured the Chief of Army Staff of the unwavering commitment of their gallant forces to maintain the tempo of operations.
During the operations, 254 assorted weapons, 300 units of Starlink communication devices were recovered, and 366 civilians were rescued from various terrorist enclaves.
“The surrender of 881 JAS/ISWAP fighters and their families, among other accomplishments, further underscores the progress made,” he said.
Abubakar also attributed the successes recorded in the Joint Operations Area (JOA) to the Chief of Army Staff’s interventions.
