Attacks by Boko Haram terrorists spanning over a decade have left thousands killed and millions displaced in the North East

Military authorities on Sunday said that thirteen suspected Boko Haram terrorists have been apprehended around Filin Lazio in the Hotoro axis of Kano State.

The suspects were arrested by troops of 3 Brigade of the Nigerian Army during an operation in the north-west region of the country.

Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Mohammed Yerima, explained that the operation conducted on Saturday was part of ongoing efforts to flush out all forms of criminality within the area of responsibility.

According to him, the ongoing operations are predicated on the need to apprehend criminals who may want to hibernate in any part of Kano.

He assured them that the security forces were working relentlessly to ensure the security of the lives of residents and their properties.
