Troops of the Nigerian Army have recorded significant operational successes across multiple theatres between 10 and 13 September 2025, neutralizing terrorists, facilitating the surrender of fighters, arresting suspects, rescuing kidnap victims, and recovering arms, ammunition, and other logistics.

A source in Nigerian Army Headquarters told our reporter that on 10 September, troops of 22 Brigade arrested two suspected kidnappers in Babanna, Borgu LGA of Niger state.

According to him, in a related operation, troops of 12 Brigade alongside hybrid forces and vigilantes rescued 17 kidnapped passengers abandoned by criminals in Lokoja LGA of Kogi state. 

“Similarly, troops of Sector 1 Operation WHIRL STROKE (OPWS) rescued another victim in Katsina-Ala LGA of Benue state, while in Plateau state, Sector 8 troops of Operation ENDURING PEACE  (OPEP) arrested two suspected rustlers in Mangu LGA and recovered weapons, ammunition, and cash. 

“In another raid, troops of Sector 1 OPWS recovered an AK-47 rifle and 29 rounds of ammunition during a patrol in Ado LGA, Benue state.

“On 11 September, troops made further gains. In Kogi state, 12 Brigade neutralized one violent extremist in Kabba Bunu LGA and recovered a fully loaded AK-47 magazine and 31 mobile phones,” he said.

The source further said in Borno state, one ISWAP/JAS fighter surrendered to hybrid forces at Ngamdu, disclosing valuable intelligence on terrorist operations. 

He said, “On the same day, troops of 8 Division rescued 7 kidnapped victims and recovered a vehicle during an encounter with terrorists along Marnona–Gundumi–Isa road. 

“Additionally, 12 Brigade rescued 4 kidnap victims along Egbe–Eruku road in Yagba West LGA of Kogi state. 

“In Plateau State, Sector 2 troops repelled a violent extremist attack in Quan-Pan LGA with support from tactical drones, while troops of Sector 3 OPEP rescued another kidnapped victim in Bassa LGA.

“Also on 11 September, troops intercepted smugglers in Mubi South LGA of Adamawa state, abandoning a truck loaded with 20 jerrycans of PMS.

 In the South-South, troops of Operation DELTA SAFE discovered and dismantled an illegal refining site containing about 3,800 litres of stolen crude oil in Bayelsa state, while another team intercepted 1,600 litres of illegally refined AGO in Rivers state.”

On 12 September, he said troops of Sector 3 OPEP rescued yet another kidnapped victim in Bassa LGA of Plateau state, who had been abducted in Jos the previous day. 

“Cumulatively, within the period, troops neutralized one terrorist, facilitated the surrender of one terrorist, arrested six suspects, rescued 30 kidnapped victims, and recovered assorted weapons, ammunition, cash, petroleum products, motorcycles, mobile phones, and other logistics.

“The Nigerian Army remain committed to creating a safer environment that will boost agricultural activities in line with the Federal Government’s commitment to food security,” he said.
