DHQ says troops killed 121 terrorists, apprehended 253 and rescued 244 kidnapped hostages in different operations nationwide in one week.
Mr Buba said that the rescued hostages had been handed over to the Sokoto State Government for further action.
“This is a clarion call to duty by members of those communities and the state government,” he said.
Mr Buba said the troops also apprehended 22 perpetrators of oil theft and rescued 96 kidnap victims.
DHQ claimed “three notorious commanders”, Abacha, Bakura and Babangida, were killed during an air raid.
The DHQ said 1,157 Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorist fighters and their families surrendered to troops in the month.
According to Mr Gabkwet, the commissioner of police commended the officer for his courage.
The defence spokesperson said the armed forces would continue to combat the criminals.
The governor emphasised that good governance was crucial for effectively addressing these security issues.
Defence spokesman Edward Buba disclosed this at a news conference in Abuja on Thursday on the armed forces operations.
