One of the "most wanted" terrorists' chiefs, Abubakar Ibrahim (also known as Habu Dogo), was also arrested in Sokoto state, bordering with Niger. His arrest is significant for both Nigeria and Niger, whose security agencies had long been monitoring the cross-border nature of his activities, according to the media.
The Nigerian army eliminated over 187 militants and arrested another 262 in anti-
terror operations in the past week, Nigeria's armed forces spokesman, Major General Edward Buba, said in a statement sent to Chinese media.
"More than 187 suspected terrorists were killed and 262 others arrested by the Nigerian military in various anti-terror operations across the country in the past week," the statement read.
Additionally, 19 militants surrendered to troops during this week, Buba noted.
Earlier, Nigeria and Niger reached a critical agreement to enhance their
security cooperation, focusing on combating arms trafficking and securing their shared border, the Niger Press Agency reported in August.
