In a series of coordinated operations across Borno, Zamfara, Kebbi, Sokoto, and Plateau states, the Nigerian Army has made significant strides in its fight against terrorism. Troops from the 192 Battalion in Gwoza, Borno State, secured the surrender of an adult female family member of an ISWAP terrorist. The woman, who fled from Chikide Village with only ₦4,500, turned herself in and is now under military intelligence for profiling.
In Zamfara State, troops from the 1 Brigade at the Forward Operating Base in Danmarke intercepted rustlers who had raided Kyairu Village. The criminals fled, abandoning dozens of cattle, which were later recovered and handed to local authorities.
Similarly, in Kebbi State, troops from the 1 Battalion (Rear) in Augie, working with a joint security team, repelled armed terrorists who attacked Gulma Village in Argungu Local Government Area. Thirty cattle were recovered and returned to their rightful owners through traditional leaders.
In Sokoto State, clearance operations in the Sauna/Goboro Forest, Tangaza Local Government Area, forced terrorists to abandon 68 cattle, which were recovered and handed to community leaders for safekeeping.
The operations also extended to Plateau State, where troops of Sector 6, Operation ENDURING PEACE (OPEP), intervened following reports of farmland destruction. Twenty-one cattle were intercepted grazing unattended in Jos South, while another 39 were seized in Riyom Local Government Area after being found destroying crops. The livestock were secured pending further action.
Army spokesperson Lt. Col. Appolona Anele reaffirmed the military’s commitment to sustaining its momentum, denying terrorists and criminals freedom of action, and consolidating peace and security nationwide.
