The Nigerian Army continues to demonstrate its resolve in dismantling terrorist networks across various theatres of operations, delivering heavy blows to the fleeing villains.
In the latest encounter, troops successfully expunged and destabilized terrorists attempting to escape military action, aborting their mission and putting them on the run.
Acting on credible intelligence, troops deployed at Kwaga village of Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, positioned an ambush against terrorists transiting along Birnin Gwari-Manini axis, leading to an intense firefight.
In the ensuing clash, troops neutralized two terrorists with overwhelming firepower, while others fled in disarray.
The operation also led to the recovery of some arms and equipment, including two AK-47 rifles, three rifle magazines, one Baofeng radio, and three motorcycles used by the terrorists.
The Nigerian Army remains resolute in its mission to rid the country of terrorism and ensure the safety of all citizens. Troops are still on the trail of the wounded terrorists.
