Nigerian Army troops have killed at least six terrorists and recovered arms and logistics in separate operations in Kaduna State. According to a statement by the Army, troops ambushed and engaged the terrorists in Giwa and Birnin Gwari Local Government Areas, resulting in the death of six terrorists and the recovery of weapons, including a pistol, semi-automatic pump-action rifle, AK-47 rifle, and G3 rifle. Additionally, nine motorcycles abandoned by the fleeing terrorists were recovered. The operations were conducted following intelligence reports on terrorist movements in the areas.
The Army’s operations resulted in the clearing of two villages and the neutralization of a terrorist scout. This comes after the military high command reported the arrest of over 253 terrorists and 172 others in recent counter-terrorism operations.
