Military records show a 73.3% drop in attacks across the country's theatres of operation in October 2026, with the Defence Headquarters reporting 98 incidents compared to 367 in September. The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Michael Onoja, attributed this decline to sustained efforts by troops in various theatres, including Operation Enduring Peace, Operation Hadin Kai, and Operation Fansan Yamma.
Despite the reduction in attacks, troops neutralised over 217 terrorists and criminals, arrested 333 suspects, and rescued 349 kidnap victims during the month.
