The Armed Forces of Nigeria have reiterated their resolve to sustain military operations against insurgents, declaring that terrorists will no longer find refuge anywhere within the country.
This assurance was contained in a statement issued by the Media Information Officer of Operation Hadin Kai, Lt.-Col. Sani Uba, following ongoing counterterrorism offensives in the North-East.
According to Uba, the military remains focused on dismantling terrorist structures and eliminating threats posed by insurgent groups operating in the region.
“Our operations are aimed at disrupting terrorist networks, removing them from the battlefield and denying the terrorists any safe haven within Nigeria,” Uba stated.
He stressed that troops would continue to intensify efforts to restore peace and stability in affected communities, particularly in Borno State where attacks linked to Boko Haram and ISWAP have persisted for years.
The Armed Forces also reaffirmed their commitment to safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty and protecting citizens from terrorist activities.
“The Armed Forces of Nigeria will continue to aggressively defend the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of the nation,” the military said.
It added, “Terrorists who threaten our citizens, communities and national stability will be located and defeated. There will be no safe haven for all terrorists anywhere in Nigeria.”
Metele and nearby communities in northern Borno have remained major flashpoints in the insurgency, witnessing repeated clashes between security forces and fighters linked to Boko Haram and ISIS/ISWAP factions.
