Police say 129 arrested as 55 terrorists died in fights

Police operations just took down over a hundred terrorists in two states. Authorities arrested 129 individuals in Kogi and Kwara during recent security pushes. Officials confirmed 55 others were killed in armed confrontations with police operatives. The force also successfully rescued 309 hostages held by the criminal groups.

Force spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin clarified that the deaths occurred during active firefights. He stated that those neutralized chose to engage in battle rather than surrender. The operations targeted criminal elements, creating insecurity across the north-central region. These actions form part of broader efforts to stabilize the area.
