counter-terrorism operation, Nigerian Army troops have neutralised a group of
terrorists in an ambush operation in Kaduna State. 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
5, 2024, around Kidandan Village, Giwa Local Government of Kaduna State,
the troops engaged the terrorists in a gun battle, neutralising three of them.

State and across the Northwest region.

agencies to tackle the scourge of insecurity ravaging many parts of the
country.
“The Nigerian Army remains committed to the
ongoing counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency operations to ensure the safety

to continue to support Nigerian Army troops and other security operatives as
they continue to strive to mitigate security challenges in the country,” the
