The Nigerian military has neutralised 60 terrorists and rescued 42 kidnapped individuals in a series of nationwide operations, reports Vanguard.

In addition to the neutralisations, the operations resulted in the arrest of 56 suspected collaborators and logistics suppliers, underscoring a broader crackdown on the support networks that sustain extremist groups.

The arrests were carried out across multiple states, reflecting the military’s coordinated effort to dismantle the infrastructure that fuels insurgent activity.

The rescued victims were freed from captivity in areas known for insurgent presence, though details of their abduction remain undisclosed.

These actions come amid ongoing security challenges in Nigeria, with authorities continuing to target the logistical and financial bases that underpin terrorist operations.
