The Director, Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Edward Buba disclosed this in a statement on Friday.

It partly read, “The uncommon cooperation, collaboration, and support received from citizens across the country are greatly assisting our operations to yield expected results. Nigerians are speaking up, and the military is doing something about it.

“Given the active participation of citizens in exposing the activities of these evil elements. Their days are surely numbered to either surrender now or exit this world. The military would sustain the momentum. Therefore if you know something, say something and the military will do something.”

He added that in the last few weeks, troops killed 38 terrorists and arrested 175 gunmen.
