Nigerian Military Steps-up Strikes against Terrorists after Ex-General dies

The Nigerian military has reportedly doubled up operations against terrorist groups operating in Katsina State following the death of former spokesperson for the Nigerian Defence Headquarters, retired Major General Rabe Abubakar.

‎

‎Reports confirmed that Abubakar died on Saturday while in terrorist captivity.

‎

‎The renewed offensive comes amid growing public concern over continuous insecurity in parts of the North-West, where terrorist attacks, kidnappings and brutal raids have continued to threaten lives and communities.

‎

‎Reports suggest that troops have intensified operations in known bandit hideouts, with efforts focused on disrupting the activities of criminal networks and preventing further attacks on vulnerable communities.

‎

‎Major General Abubakar’s death has sparked fresh outrage and renewed calls for stronger action against criminal groups responsible for abductions and other violent crimes across the region.

‎

‎In the same vein, the widow of Major General Rabe Abubakar has been successfully rescued following a recent incident in which she sustained injuries. Authorities confirmed that she was found and brought to safety after swift intervention.

‎

‎She is currently receiving medical attention, with healthcare personnel working to stabilize her condition. Details surrounding the circumstances of the incident have not been officially announced.
