• Destroy house for covertly treating insurgents
In a recent meticulously executed operation, Nigerian Army troops, in collaboration with local vigilantes, have successfully eradicated a significant terrorist threat operating under the guise of a law enforcement officer within Sokoto.
This individual had been exploiting his assumed authority to perpetrate egregious crimes, including abduction and deception.
Confirming this operation, Major General Onyema Nwachukwu, Director of Army Public Relations, affirmed that the violent extremist met his end on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, following a meticulously planned and intelligence-driven maneuver by the troops.
Employing sophisticated disguise tactics, the terrorist had deceived unsuspecting victims before being intercepted and neutralized in a confrontation with our forces.
Furthermore, during the operation, troops uncovered and subsequently obliterated a clandestine facility utilized by insurgent leaders for the storage of illicit substances and the provision of medical care to wounded insurgents.
Simultaneously, in a separate counterinsurgency endeavor in Taraba State, troops successfully eliminated another insurgent threat in Kutoko Village, Takum Local Government Area.
This operation yielded the recovery of an AK-47 Rifle and a Magazine containing four live rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition.
Major General Nwachukwu emphasized that these decisive actions underscore the unwavering dedication of the Nigerian Army in confronting the scourge of terrorism and insurgency, with the paramount aim of safeguarding the nation’s security and well-being.
He called upon the public to continue extending their support to the troops as they collectively endeavor to thwart the nation’s adversaries.
