The military has stated that it is working on making terrorist leaders and Islamic State of West Africa Province terrorists wanted.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that on February 21, 2022, the Senate urged the Federal Government to declare all known terrorist leaders wanted as soon as possible.

When asked why the military had yet to declare terrorists and ISWAP leaders wanted and make their names and images public, as it had done in the case of Abubakar Shekau and other Boko Haram fighters, Major General Benard Onyeuko, Director, Defence Media Operations, said the process was being reviewed. He went on to say that their names and pictures would be made public soon.

“We’re working on it,” he replied. The procedure is being examined. Some of them have been removed. New posters will be available very shortly.”
