The Defence Headquarters disclosed this in a statement on Friday by the Director Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, revealing that the arrested terrorist commander is a close associate of a wanted high-profile terrorist leader known as Kachalla Boka.

“The arrest has been rewarding in intelligence value as he is cooperating and providing troops with much needed intelligence for further operations,” Buba said.

On the war against oil theft, the Director Defence Media Operations said troops arrested 45 suspected oil thieves, destroyed 60 illegal refining sites and recovered 712,535 litres of stolen crude oil and 76,800 litres of illegally refined AGO worth N712,065,450.00
