According to the Defence Headquarters, 30 of the terrorists who attacked members of the Guards Brigade on Sunday in the Bwari neighborhood of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have been killed by military forces.
At the bi-weekly news conference on military operations on Thursday in Abuja, Maj.-Gen. Bernard Onyeuko, director of defence media operations, said this.
According to Onyeuko, the operation was carried out between Sunday and Tuesday in conjunction with the air component of “Operation Whirl Punch” by members of the 7 Guards Battalion and 167 Special Forces Battalion.
According to him, the army neutralized the terrorists in Kawu and Ido villages and destroyed their hiding and enclave.
He claimed that during mop-up, the ground soldiers also found six motorcycles, two AK-47 guns, and one fully loaded LMG magazine.
The hierarchy of the Nigerian Armed Forces and other security services wishes to reassert its commitment to and pact with Nigerians as a whole.
People should go about their daily business as their safety is ensured. With the recent operations carried out from July 23, we want to reassure residents of FCT in particular that we are undeterred and persistent in our efforts to secure the safety of lives and properties.
All Nigerians are thus requested to provide their support and cooperation as security.
“Citizens are advised to alert security officials about odd people in their neighborhood. Say something if you notice something, he said.
Maj-Gen Jimmy Akpor, the director of defense information, urged the media to help the military in its efforts to overcome the country’s enemies.
Regarding the voicemail apparently from a soldier participating in the incident that has been circulating on social media, Akpor said it was unnecessary to make inquiries about its veracity.
