Foreign terrorists and militant herders are the main perpetrators of violent attacks across Nigeria, according to the military.
These attackers are said to be working with some Nigerians who help them carry out their plans.
The Defence Headquarters has raised concerns over the growing presence of non-Nigerian fighters involved in the country’s security problems.
The military explained that many of the assailants operating in the troubled regions, especially the northeast, are not Nigerians.
However, they receive support from within the country, making it easier for them to move, strike, and escape.
The Defence Media Operations unit, led by Major General Markus Kangye, shared this update while speaking on the latest efforts by troops to restore peace.
Security forces have launched fresh tactics to stop a new wave of violence in parts of Borno State.
In a recent clash in Mallam Fatori and Izge, troops under Operation Hadin Kai responded to terrorist threats, killing at least five attackers. Unfortunately, two soldiers were also killed during the fight.
Reports from the battlefield also suggest that terrorists are now using drones and advanced weapons, adding to the challenges faced by troops.
As these threats grow, the military is boosting its efforts to push back and gain more control over troubled areas.
People living in these communities remain in fear, hoping that the government will do more to make their environment safe again.
While the army continues to fight, many residents still live with uncertainty, unsure of when true peace will return.
