According to ONSA, the security forces conducted a series of joint operations that resulted in significant victories.
The operations led to the elimination of a large number of terrorists, alongside the rescue of nearly 8,000 kidnapped individuals.
These successes were part of a broader strategy to combat insurgency and organized crime.
In addition to these operations, security forces arrested 11,623 suspected terrorists.
These individuals were detained as part of efforts to dismantle terrorist networks across the country.
The security agencies also recovered over 10,000 weapons and more than 224,000 rounds of ammunition during the year.
The Nigerian military’s anti-terrorism efforts included extensive surveillance and targeted strikes in affected regions.
The military worked alongside police forces, intelligence agencies, and other security operatives to disrupt terrorist activities.
These operations aimed at stabilizing the country and protecting citizens from further harm.
ONSA further reported that the military’s successes contributed to the broader national goal of restoring peace and security.
The year 2024 marked a significant improvement in the country’s security landscape, with joint efforts proving essential in reducing terrorist threats.
The ONSA commended the bravery and dedication of all security personnel involved in these operations.
