The Nigerian Ministry of Defence has reported that over 10,000 Boko Haram and ISWAP combatants, along with their families, have surrendered following intensified military operations across the country. The disclosure was made during a press briefing in Abuja, as reported by Voice TV.
The Defence Minister highlighted the significant achievements of the Armed Forces under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership, emphasizing the government’s commitment to safeguarding national security and territorial integrity. “Within the tenure of this administration, our troops have neutralized over 13,000 terrorists and criminals, arrested more than 17,000, and rescued nearly 10,000 hostages,” the Minister said.
He noted that the coordinated operations have dismantled key terrorist enclaves, neutralized bandit commanders, and restored peace to several communities, allowing displaced residents to return home.
The Minister also issued a stern warning to public officials, including Minister of the FCT Nyesom Wike, emphasizing that disrespect toward the Ministry of Defence or Nigerian Armed Forces will not be tolerated. He reiterated the importance of mutual respect in maintaining national peace and stability.
