Acting on credible intelligence, the troops targeted the terrorist group, known for using motorbikes to carry out nefarious activities in the region.
“During the operation on Friday, April 4, 2024, around Kidandan Village, Giwa Local Government of Kaduna State, the troops engaged the terrorists in a gun battle, neutralising three of them.

“The operation also led to the recovery of one AK-47 rifle, one stock AK-47 rifle, four motorbikes, and one Motorola radio.
“The Nigerian Army remains committed to the ongoing counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency operations to ensure the safety and security of the populace.
