Nigeria: '13,000 terrorists neutralized over the past year,' says Tinubu

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu announced that over 13,000 terrorists have been neutralized in the past year, without specifying whether he meant 2025 or the last 12 months. He also stated that more than 124,000 combatants and their families have surrendered since 2023 under Operation Safe Corridor. Nigeria faces a long-running jihadist insurgency in the north, worsened by incursions from the Sahel and mercenary groups.
