In a major victory for the Nigerian Army’s counter-terrorism efforts, a notorious terrorist commander, Lawal Kwalba, has surrendered to the troops.Â
This significant event occurred on Thursday, May 28, 2024, following intensified military operations targeting terrorist hideouts in Kaduna State.
The continuous and relentless efforts of the troops have been crucial in exerting pressure on terrorist factions, ultimately leading to Kwalba’s decision to surrender along with his fighters.
This development marks a vital step in the ongoing fight against terrorism in both Kaduna State and the wider region.
During the surrender, the troops recovered two AK-47 rifles, a motorbike, and two magazines loaded with 7.62 mm special ammunition from the terrorist commander.
Currently, Kwalba is undergoing thorough profiling at a military facility. This process is expected to yield valuable insights that could help dismantle remaining terrorist networks.
The surrender of a high-profile terrorist commander like Lawal Kwalba highlights the effectiveness of the ongoing counter-terrorism operations.
