Nigerian Army Kills 10 Boko Haram Terrorists, Recovers Arms in Bama

By Milcah Tanimu

In a major operation in Bama, Borno State, the Nigerian Army has successfully neutralized 10 Boko Haram terrorists and recovered a cache of automatic firearms. The raid, which occurred on February 17, 2025, took place deep inside the Iza forest, a known stronghold of the terrorist group. Overwhelmed by the Army’s superior firepower, the terrorists were defeated, with several others fleeing the area.

During the mop-up operation, the troops recovered two AK-47 rifles, along with two loaded magazines. Additionally, a key terrorist collaborator, known for extorting ransom on behalf of Boko Haram and other bandit groups, was arrested.

In another operation, Nigerian troops in Shinkafi, Zamfara State, launched a successful ambush on a bandit crossing at Tunfa village. The ambush led to the neutralization of one bandit and the capture of a high-value suspect linked to the notorious Sani Black terrorist faction. The arrest prompted further raids, which resulted in the capture of multiple suspects and the destruction of bandit infrastructure in Tunga village.

In a separate operation in Sokoto State, troops apprehended a suspected terrorist in Illela Market, strengthening the ongoing counterterrorism efforts across Nigeria. The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede, commended the troops for their efficiency and reiterated the Army’s commitment to eradicating terrorism, banditry, and other criminal activities. He also urged citizens to continue supporting the military with credible intelligence.
