In a statement on Sunday, military authorities said the operations targeted hideouts across the North East, North West and North Central regions. Troops reportedly engaged insurgents in fierce battles, destroying camps and intercepting supplies meant for armed groups.
Residents in some of the affected communities expressed relief, noting that the presence of soldiers has restored a sense of safety after weeks of fear. The army assured citizens that it remains committed to ending terrorism and banditry, urging communities to support security agencies with timely information.
Analysts say the latest push underscores the military’s determination to curb rising insecurity, though many Nigerians stress that sustained efforts are needed to bring lasting peace.
