Troops Kill 4 Terrorists In Tax Collection Ambush, Bust Arms Syndicate

In a series of well-coordinated operations, troops of the Nigerian Army have successfully apprehended a female arms courier and dismantled a notorious network of terrorists, seizing a significant cache of weapons and ammunition. During these raids and ambushes, numerous terrorists were neutralized, and a high-profile terrorist was captured.

On 17 October 2024, working alongside other security agencies, troops trailed and arrested a female firearms courier and her accomplice at Barikin Ladi Motor Park in Plateau State. Intelligence had revealed that this gunrunning syndicate was smuggling arms from Plateau to terrorists in Zamfara State. The operation led to the arrest of Mrs. Fidausu Hassan and Mr. Sani Isah Musa, from whom the troops recovered 505 rounds of 7.62mm (special) ammunition.

In another decisive operation, troops raided the residence of a known terrorist in Ambakka village, located at the Plateau-Nasarawa border. The operation resulted in the arrest of Alhaji Adamu Bajara, a wanted person on multiple security watchlists. Three AK-47 rifles and two rounds of 7.62mm (special) ammunition were recovered from his residence while the troops continue to pursue his accomplices. The Troops also responded swiftly to a report of cattle rustling in Mile 8, Pankshin Local Government Area, recovering 46 stolen livestock after overpowering the criminals in the encounter.

Meanwhile, in Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State, troops acting on verified intelligence launched an assault on Boko Haram terrorists operating a tax collection point in Ngazargamu area. In the ensuing firefight, troops eliminated two terrorists and recovered a haul of weapons, including two AK-47 rifles, one FN rifle, 19 rounds of 7.62 mm (special) ammunition, five rounds of 7.62mm (NATO) ammunition, two extra AK-47 rifle magazines and three mobile phones.

Similarly, in Borno State, along the Gamboru-Logomane road, troops ambushed ISWAP fighters, killing two terrorists. The troops also recovered two AK-47 rifles and sundry items at the scene.
