Nigerian security authorities announced the killing of 212 Boko Haram and ISIS West Africa terrorists during operations carried out over the past week, and the release of 152 people held hostage by these groups.
The news website "La Nouvelle Tribune" reported that these security operations organized on several fronts aimed to dismantle active cells and regain control of areas affected by armed attacks.
The joint efforts of the Nigerian ground and air forces have significantly reduced the operational capabilities of terrorists in the north of the country, an area often targeted by these armed groups.
Despite these victories achieved by the Nigerian forces, armed groups are still active in several areas of the country. These armed groups exploit security gaps to carry out kidnappings, looting and targeted attacks.
