Nigerian troops on Monday eliminated seven terrorists after repelling their ambush attack in Kango Sabuwal village in Gusau Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
PRNigeria gathered that the operation was conducted by a military intelligence commander in the North West and his army of soldiers.
According to the report, the troops recovered weapons and other logistic items during the operation.
The commander told PRNigeria that their troops of Operation Hadarin Daji have, in recent months, intensified onslaughts against terrorists in various parts of Zamfara.
“We have been defeating them. In fact, we just neutralized seven of them, who attempted to attack our troops in the bush”.
According to him, the bandits, in their large number, attempted to infiltrate and attack troops at Kango Sabuwal village, but the ‘gallant’ soldiers deployed at Forward Operating Base Wanke organized an ambush operation, and neutralized seven of the criminals, in the late evening of yesterday.
“Shortly after the encounter, the troops proceeded in pursuit of other fleeing bandits. And in the process, they recovered one machine gun, some ammunition and six motorcycles from the bandits,” said the military intelligence commander.
