The Army, in a statement on Tuesday on X.com, also said 44 Boko Haram terrorists and their families surrendered to troops deployed at Bama, Dikwa, and Gwoza Local Government Areas of Borno state.

The post read, “On August 12, 2024, troops conducted a raid operation on an Islamic West Africa Province terrorists’ enclave in the Bama Local Government Area of Borno State.

In the operation, troops neutralized five terrorists and recovered two Rocket Propel Gun Bombs, two Dane guns, one RPG Bomb Charger, one AK-47 Rifle Magazine, 23 rounds of 7.62 x 54 mm ammunition, six motorcycles and assorted medications.

“Meanwhile, following sustained offensive operations against terrorist groups in the North East theatre, 44 Boko Haram terrorists and their families have surrendered to troops deployed at Bama, Dikwa and Gwoza Local Government Areas of Borno State.”

The service stated that troops arrested a notorious cattle rustler, Maawuya Shuaibu, in Plateau State, adding that a total of 32 rustled cows were recovered from him.

“In Plateau State, troops have arrested a notorious cattle rustler, Mallam Maawuya Shuaibu, at Mararaban Kantom in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of the state. The suspect who has been on the watchlist of the security agencies in connection with criminal activities in the general area of Barikin Ladi, Riyom, and Mangu Local Government areas of the state, was nabbed as the vigilant troops responded to credible intelligence on the suspect’s illicit activities. The troops recovered 32 rustled cows from the suspect,” the statement added.

In Bayelsa State, the Nigerian Army said troops conducted raid operations into suspected criminal hideouts in Korokorosie Community of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area.
