The Nigerian Army says troops have in the last 24 hours killed scores of terrorists and apprehended several others in sustained multiple operations across theatres nationwide.

This is made known in an operational report on Sunday in Abuja.

According to the report, in the North-East, troops of Operation Hadin Kai recorded significant gains against insurgents in Borno.

It stated that troops encountered terrorist logistics suppliers along the Agapalwa–Chinene axis in the Gwoza Local Government Area, and forced them to flee abandoning items including a motorcycle and food supplies.

According to the report, troops also acting on intelligence on terrorist movement in Gallari, Konduga, discovered two gun trucks concealed under trees through aerial surveillance.

“In another operation, troops destroyed suspected terrorist life-support structures at Gakara high ground and Ndova village, further degrading insurgents’ capabilities,” it said.

The report also said that troops of 21 Special Armoured Brigade, killed one terrorist during an ambush operation at Dipchari in the Bama LGA, with follow-up operations ongoing.

In the North-West, troops under Operation Fansan Yamma, successfully repelled a terrorist attack on Forward Operating Base Bagega in the Anka LGA of Zamfara State.

According to the report, two gun trucks were destroyed, though the attackers carted away an RPG tube, while parts of the camp and some shops in the community were burnt and looted.

It added that troops under Operation Mesa, intercepted 76 suspected individuals in the Karu LGA of Nasarawa State, believed to be involved in a dubious recruitment scheme linked to foreign business entities.

“Preliminary investigation suggests the activity may be fraudulent in nature. The suspects are currently in custody for further action,” the report said.

The report added that troops arrested a suspected terrorist along the Lokoja–Abuja road following credible intelligence.

“Investigations are still ongoing,” it said.

In Plateau State, the report says troops recovered an additional locally fabricated rifle and ammunition during ongoing operations following an earlier attack that claimed the life of a security agent in the Mangu Local Government Area.

It added that troops across other sectors continued aggressive patrols and offensive operations with no major incidents recorded.

The military reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining pressure on terrorists and criminals while ensuring the protection of lives and property across the country.

How will work setups change if we spend more and more time talking to our computers? A recent feature in the Wall Street Journal looks at the rising popularity of dictation apps like Wispr, especially now that they can be connected to vibe coding tools, and what that might mean for office etiquette.

One VC said that visiting startup offices now feels like stepping into a high-end call center. And Gusto co-founder Edward Kim is apparently telling his team that in the future, offices will sound “more like a sales floor.” (As someone still scarred from the time his desk was briefly relocated to a sales floor, let me say: Oh no.)

Kim claimed that he only types now when he absolutely has to. But he admitted that constantly dictating in the office can be “just a little awkward.”

Similarly, AI entrepreneur Mollie Amkraut Mueller said her husband became annoyed with her new habit of whispering to her computer, so their late-night work sessions now involve sitting apart, or “one of us will stay in our office.”

But Wispr founder Tanay Kothari insisted that this will all seem “normal” one day, just as it’s become normal to spend hours staring at your phone.
