Nigeria Curbs Terrorist Drone Use

The Nigeria===Defence Headquarters, led by Major General Michael Onoja, announced that it is working with other Federal Government agencies to trace and curb the use of drones by terrorist groups like Boko Haram, Islamic State – West Africa Province, and Boko Haram in Nigeria. Investigations into the sources of these drones are at an advanced stage, with concrete actions expected soon. This initiative comes in response to the increasing deployment of sophisticated drones by insurgents in attacks on civilians and security personnel, particularly in the North-East. The military also reported ongoing successful operations against these groups, leading to the neutralization of terrorists, arrests of informants, and rescue of kidnapped victims. The return of Nigerian refugees from Cameroon is cited as evidence of improved security.
