He said the air component of “Operation Hadarin Daji” on June 22, 2022, carried out air interdiction at Kofar Danya village in Bukkuyum local government area of Zamfara State.

According to him, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) platforms engaged the terrorists with heavy bombardment which destroyed their concentration camp.

“Consequently, credible feedback from the locals around Kofar Danya disclosed that over 82 of the terrorists suffered heavy casualties as many of them were neutralized while other sustained various degree of injuries,” he said.

The troops also arrested some terrorist collaborators and logistics suppliers on  June 21, 2022.

“Mallam Abacha Usman was arrested at Benshek, Mallam Ibrahim Gira along Damboa-Biu Road and Mallam Ibrahim Gira a notorious terrorist petroleum supplier,” he said.

“Consequently, troops neutralised 11 terrorists, arrested 11 and recovered 14 rustled cattle, two AK-47 rifles, three bicycles, two locally made guns, 90 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, one Golf 2 car.

“Also, members of Boko Haram terrorists have continued to surrender to troops at different locations in the theatre between 1st and 15th June 2022, a total of 4,770 of them comprising 864 adult males, 1,415 women and 2,490 children,” he said.
