Nigerian troops have neutralised nine terrorists in a precision air strike in Borno State and arrested six suspected kidnappers and terrorist collaborators in Plateau State.
The development was disclosed by the Director of Defence Media Operations, Lt.-Gen. Sani Uba, who said the operations were conducted by troops of Operation Hadin Kai and Operation Hakorin Damisa II.
