Troops Neutralize Bandits across, Rescue Kidnapped Persons in Birnin Gwari Axis

Troops have neutralized a total of four bandits during two operations spanning Birnin Gwari and Giwa local government areas.

This was conveyed in a series of operational feedbacks to the Kaduna State Government.

According to the first report, troops of Operation Forest Sanity embarked on special clearance operations in the general area of Alawa, Birnin Gwari LGA.

The troops – set up as a blocking force – sighted bandits movement around Kwaga, and after a brief pursuit, neutralized two of them.

The following items were recovered:

In the second report, troops of Sector 6 Operation Whirl Punch conducted fighting patrols around Nakwakina village, Giwa LGA. Following credible intelligence, the troops laid ambush along a likely terrorists’ withdrawal route.

The terrorists were eventually sighted and engaged, resulting in two neutralized as others escaped with bullet wounds. The troops combed the area and recovered two motorcycles, one cutlass and one mobile phone.
