In a significant blow to terrorist activities in Zamfara State, troops of the Joint Task Force Operation FANSAN YAMMA have successfully conducted offensive operations against terrorist enclaves west of Kaura Namoda. The operation, carried out on March 10, 2025, targeted the hideouts of notorious kingpins, resulting in the neutralization of several terrorists and the recovery of weapons and other items.
The troops, operating under the 1 Brigade Mobile Strike Teams, launched coordinated air and ground assaults on the hideout of Dan Sa’adia, a prominent terrorist leader. During the engagement, many terrorists were neutralized, including a key kingpin identified as Babangida. The operation also led to the recovery of one locally made pistol, one locally made revolver, and one PKT magazine from the hideout.
