Nigerian troops have killed many terrorists and bandits across the various theatres of operation in North East, North Central and North West in the past two weeks.
This was disclosed by the Director, Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba while briefing reporters on the Armed Forces of Nigeria operations on Thursday in Abuja.
He said operational successes were achieved in the last two weeks in various land and air operations.
