Furthermore, troops recovered 1,304 weapons, 43,347 ammunition and denied the oil theft of an estimated sum over N13 bn (N13,081,605,534.00) only.”
He said that troops conducted synchronised bombardments by the air force and ground forces, that significantly diminished terror military capabilities and cohesion.
Giving a breakdown of the arms and ammunition recovered from adversaries within the said period, the director said troops recovered 688 AK-47 rifles, 32,945 rounds of 7.62mm special ammo, 9,677 rounds of 7.62mm NATO, 191 assorted arms and 8,292 assorted ammo in different battlefields.
“On the whole, troops are keeping the pressure on the terrorist until they are totally defeated. The military is focussed on dismantling the terror infrastructure as well as destroying their will to fight. Accordingly, we are attacking any threat we identify, and removing it. The war objective is to destroy these groups, decapitate them, and erode their ability to rage terror attacks against citizens,” he said.
Buba concluded that the nation’s daily crude oil production output is now at an all time high with the daily target in sight.
