The Nigerian Army has killed 101 terrorists in the last week in operations targeting Boko Haram terrorists, the West African State of ISIS (ISWAP) and other criminal gangs.

The Director of Defense Information, Major General Edward Buba, has confirmed that the army carried out operations in various regions of the country in the past week .

Buba said the commander of Boko Haram was not involved in those operations .In addition, 157 people who had been kidnapped by terrorists were released and 182 terrorists were arrested .The soldiers captured 71 weapons, two cars and a large amount of ammunition .

Nigeria has been struggling for a long time with attacks from armed gangs, including Boko Haram and ISWAP, especially in the northeastern areas of the country .

Despite the death penalty for kidnapping, kidnapping for ransom remains common, especially in the northern regions, where villages, schools and travelers are often targeted.
