Eko Hot Blog reports that the troops of Operation Forest Sanity neutralised eight bandits and seized six motorcycles during ambush patrols in the Chikun and Birnin Gwari local government areas (LGAs) of Kaduna State.
The Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs in Kaduna, Samuel Aruwan, made the disclosure in a statement on Friday.
“According to feedback to the Kaduna State Government, the troops set up ambush positions at bandits’ crossing points in the Buruku/Birnin Gwari areas,” Aruwan said.
“The troops thus made contact with bandits, and neutralised eight, while recovering four motorcycles and three mobile phones in the first successful mission.”
The security commissioner also disclosed that the troops engaged the terrorists in a second mission and recovered two motorcycles.
In a similar operation, troops neutralised two bandits during clearance patrols along the Sabon Birni-Maidaro-Dogon and Dawa-Galadimawa-Kidandan-Fatika axes, according to Aruwan.
“The troops recovered one AK-47 rifle, two magazines loaded with 52 rounds, six motorcycles and three mobile phones,” he said.
“The troops also dislodged camps around Garke and Galadimawa in Giwa LGA, recovering three Dane guns, two magazines, some military uniforms and nine motorcycles.
“Governor Nasir El-Rufai noted the reports with gratitude, and commended the troops’ stealth, bravery and resilience in the successful operations.”
