50 terrorists killed, 122 arrested in one week – DHQ

PUNCH

The Defence Headquarters on Friday ordered the bandits and criminal elements terrorising the country to either surrender to the troops or risk destruction.

The DHQ said the troops would not stop applying strong pressure on the terrorists as it had currently done in the various theaters of operations.

This was contained in a statement by the Director of  Defence Media Operation,  Maj. Gen.  Buba Edward; a copy of which was obtained by Saturday PUNCH.

It partly read, “The armed forces will continue to apply strong military pressure such as has been witnessed in the week. The terrorist and their cohorts would continue to suffer heavy casualties. It is in their interest to surrender as being done in the NE of the country to avoid eventual destruction.”
