In a series of meticulously planned and executed operations, the Nigerian Army has dealt a significant blow to terrorist networks, rescuing kidnapped students, neutralizing insurgents, and seizing a substantial cache of weapons and ammunition. The coordinated efforts, which took place in Kaduna and Niger States, demonstrate the army's unwavering commitment to dismantling terrorist strongholds and restoring peace to the region.
On September 12, 2024, Nigerian Army troops in Kaduna State launched a daring operation to free abducted individuals from extremist camps.
Acting on credible intelligence, the troops engaged in a fierce battle in Chigbolu village, Kachia Local Government Area, overwhelming the terrorists and forcing them to abandon their captives. A thorough search of the area led to the rescue of 13 individuals, including 6 males and 7 females, as well as the recovery of weapons, ammunition, and terrorist logistics.
In a separate operation, troops in Kachia Local Government Area apprehended two notorious terrorist logistics suppliers, Mallam Usman Waikili and Salisu Idris, at Kagarko village. The suspects were found in possession of a large sum of money, SIM cards, mobile phones, national identity cards, ATM cards, and other items.
The arrest of these key logistics suppliers has dealt a significant blow to the terrorist network's ability to operate effectively.
In another targeted raid in Suleja, Niger State, troops attacked a terrorist hideout, resulting in a fierce gunfight.
The troops' superior firepower led to the neutralization of 3 terrorists, with 3 additional suspects captured alive.
The suspects guided the troops to a concealed armory, where a large cache of weapons and ammunition was recovered.
The successful operations highlight the Nigerian Army's commitment to rescuing those in danger and dismantling terrorist networks.
The Chief of Army Staff has praised the troops for their efforts and encouraged them to maintain their aggressive stance across all operational areas.
The Nigerian Army remains resolute in its determination to protect the lives and property of Nigerian citizens and restore peace to the region.
