In a series of courageous operations, troops of the Nigerian Army deployed for counter-terrorism missions in both the North East and North West regions have successfully foiled multiple kidnap attempts, neutralized terrorist threats, and reunited rescued victims with their families.
In Borno State, troops swiftly responded to actionable intelligence, engaging ISWAP fighters in Kulukawiya Village, Nganzai Local Government Area. The encounter resulted in the elimination of a terrorist and the seizure of a loaded AK-47 rifle. During a subsequent pursuit, troops rescued a child abducted by the fleeing terrorists, reuniting the young boy with his father, Alhaji Musa.
In Kaduna State, troops promptly responded to a distress call from Agunu Dutse Village, Kachia Local Government Area, where residents were under siege by terrorists. A swift search and rescue operation led to the successful liberation of six hostages, including two women and four children. The rescued individuals were unharmed and joyfully reunited with their families.
Additionally, troops on a fighting patrol received information about terrorists lurking in Amale village, Kaduna North Local Government Area. Collaborating with local vigilantes, the troops engaged the terrorists, forcing them to abandon their firearms. As a result, one AK-47 rifle, a homemade gun, and a machete were recovered.
These valiant efforts by Nigerian troops demonstrate their unwavering commitment to ensuring public safety and security in regions plagued by terrorist activities. The successful operations underscore the importance of swift and decisive action in thwarting criminal threats and protecting civilians from harm.
As the Nigerian Army continues its efforts to combat terrorism and insecurity, the bravery and dedication of the troops remain pivotal in safeguarding communities and restoring peace to the affected regions.
