The Nigerian military has put a lie to claims that a neighbouring country was responsible for the elimination of some terrorists in Nigeria last week.
According to a tweet from the handle of Defence Headquarters, “There was no raid whatsoever by Cameroon or any foreign forces in any part of Nigeria’s territory in pursuit of terrorists as claimed in some reports allegedly quoting Cameroon military authorities.
“All operations ongoing in the environs of Konduga and all associated border locations within the country are completely being undertaken by Nigerian troops.”

While the Nigerian military is yet to officially named some of the top terrorists killed in recent operations, more suspected insurgents have continued to surrender themselves to the troop.
Another set of terrorists surrendered to troops at Kawuri yesterday. Military officials confirmed that those that have surrendered have been taken into custody for necessary security debriefing.
