The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) says troops have in the last week eliminated no fewer than 254 terrorists and apprehended 368 others in different theatres of operation across the country.
The Director, Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, made this known while giving an update on the operations of the armed forces, in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
Buba said the ongoing counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations had prevented terrorist elements from accomplishing their strategic objectives.
