KEBBI, Nigeria – Troops of Sector 2, Joint Task Force (Northwest) Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have killed two suspected Lakurawa terrorists and recovered weapons during a military operation in the Sabarumawa area of Kebbi State.
The operation was carried out on June 27 following intelligence reports indicating that armed terrorists were planning an attack on the Sabarumawa community.
The development was disclosed in a statement issued on Sunday by the Media Information Officer of Operation FANSAN YAMMA, Lt.-Col. Aliyu Danja.
According to the statement, troops of the Chief of Army Staff Intervention Battalion 7 swiftly deployed to the area and established a tactical ambush along the terrorists suspected route.
“The successful operation followed credible intelligence indicating that the terrorists were planning an attack on the Sabarumawa community,” the statement said.
