Military denies knowledge of community negotiations with terrorists

Published on March 21, 2025 at 02:54 AM

The Nigerian Military high command has stated that it is unaware of any community in the Northwest negotiating or entering peace agreements with bandits and terrorists for protection.

Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja on Thursday, the Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Markus Kangye, dismissed reports suggesting such peace deals.

He questioned why any community would resort to negotiations, given the sustained military offensives against terrorist groups.

“The military is carrying out its operations in line with established protocols for internal security. If any community claims to be seeking peace with bandits, the military does not support that,” Kangye asserted.

He further emphasized that joint military operations, in collaboration with hybrid forces and other security agencies, have remained relentless in tackling terrorism and organized crime.

Throughout the past week, troops conducted a series of combat patrols, raids, ambushes, clearance operations, and search-and-rescue missions, resulting in significant successes.

According to Kangye, several terrorists were neutralized, their collaborators were captured, and kidnapped victims were successfully rescued.
