    “I can authoritatively inform you that while the military has deliberately refused to provide updates since the attack on Kuje Prison, to the last attacks on troops at the Bwari and Zuma Rock axes, the joint security task force has so far killed more than 70 armed criminals, including dangerous Kuje prison escapees and terrorists.”

    It was gathered that the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) has been coordinating a discreet intelligence operation on the recent attacks on security personnel and formations.
