Nigerian security forces have recorded significant progress in ongoing counter-terrorism operations following intensified strikes on the logistics and supply networks of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). Security sources confirm that recent operations have targeted critical supply routes, effectively cutting off access to fuel, food, and movement corridors that sustain the group’s activities.
The sustained pressure is regarded as a major setback for the insurgents, marking a strategic shift from reactive engagements to systematic disruption of their operational capacity. By crippling logistics and mobility, the security forces are limiting the group’s ability to regroup, launch attacks, or sustain fighters in remote locations.
Officials also disclosed that improved intelligence gathering and faster response times have played a key role in the recent successes. This development has been attributed to renewed coordination within the armed forces and a more decisive intelligence-driven approach.
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has been credited by security analysts for emphasizing actionable intelligence and follow-through in military operations. Observers note that the current strategy reflects a “talk-and-do” leadership style, with a focus on sustained pressure rather than sporadic offensives.
Military authorities say operations will continue until terror networks are fully dismantled, reaffirming their commitment to restoring peace and security across affected regions of the country.
