Similarly, troops recovered 802,200 litres of stolen crude oil, 121,900 litres of illegally refined AGO and 450 litres of DPK.

General Buba stressed that military operations are focussed on targeting the centre of gravity of terrorists and their cohorts across the country, “finding them, flushing them out and dismantling their military, administrative and logistics capabilities across the various theatres.”

He said the operations are going in an upward trajectory, targeting the terrorist leaders, commanders, foot soldiers as well as their collaborators and adding that many terrorists have been eliminated from the battlefield.

“Troops are not resting on their oars, but are persistent in exerting significant military pressure to defeat terrorists and their cohorts in Northeast, Northwest, and Northcentral Zones,” Buba said.

The Director added that troops in South-East Zone are sustaining the momentum against the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and their armed Eastern Security Network (ESN) cohorts.

Meanwhile, in the South-South Zone, General Buba said troops have continued to battle perpetrators of crude oil theft.

“We have established a unified command structure for security operating in the region. Additionally, we are examining other areas such as transparency of IOCs, credible metering of oil wells and the tracking of point of loading to destination of the crude oil,” he said.

Buba stated further that military was also galvanising the support of host communities as well as stakeholders in the oil sector, and also reinforcing surveillance efforts on vessels, terminals and oil infrastructures to include jackets, that house well heads.

“Most importantly, troops are monitoring to ensure that culprits are prosecuted by the prosecuting agencies. It is believed that with these measures emplaced, there would be a significant boost in crude oil output for the nation,” he said.
