Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stated Friday that the country’s military has killed over 13,000 insurgents in the last year. The announcement highlights the government’s ongoing efforts to combat terrorism within Nigeria’s borders. President Tinubu used the term “neutralized” to describe the operations against the insurgents, a common phrasing in military reports to denote combat deaths. No specific details regarding the groups targeted or locations of the operations were immediately provided. The claim comes amid continued security challenges in several regions of Nigeria, particularly in the northeast where Islamist militant groups have been active for over a decade. Further information regarding independent verification of the reported figures has not yet been released. This announcement aims to demonstrate the government’s commitment to improving security and stability.
