The Nigerian military has recorded another major operational success with the elimination of a high-ranking Boko Haram terrorists’ commander during sustained clearance operations in the North-East.
Reliable military sources said among the terrorists neutralised was Abu Khalid, identified as the second-in-command of the insurgents at the Sambisa Forest.
The sources said the killing of Abu Khalid, a key figure in the group’s command and control structure, represented a significant setback to terrorist activities within the notorious forest enclave.
According to the sources, Abu Khalid played a critical role in coordinating attacks, logistics and movement of fighters across parts of the North East, making his neutralisation a major boost to ongoing counter-terrorism efforts.
The military reaffirmed that ongoing operations would be sustained until all terrorist elements were eliminated, while urging remaining insurgents to lay down their arms and embrace peace.
