The deployment comes in the wake of an urgent appeal from Kebbi State Governor, Dr. Nasir Idris, for federal support to curb the group’s violent activities.

The troops, upon arrival, equipped with armored tanks and advanced weaponry, met with Kebbi State Deputy Governor, Senator Umar Tafida, before proceeding to Mera.

The military swiftly engaged the terrorists, rescuing rustled cattle abandoned by the group in the face of overwhelming firepower.

The governor’s media aide for communication and strategy, Abdullahi Idris Zuru, said the deployment was essential as the new armed groups are severely disrupting life for rural residents.
