Wednesday, January 22, 2025 - The Defence Headquarters said two notorious terrorists, Abu Radde and Umar Black, operating in the North West theatre of operations, surrendered to troops of Operation Fansan Yamma on January 19.
This was contained in a statement by the Director of Defence Media
Operations, Maj Gen Edward Buba, on Tuesday.
Buba said the surrendered terrorists had been operating in Batsari and
Safana Local Government Areas of Katsina State.
According to him, the surrender was occasioned by ongoing synchronised
offensive operations by the ground troops and the air component, which resulted
in several terrorists being dislodged from their enclaves with high casualties.
The Defence spokesman said the troops recovered assorted weapons and
ammunition, as well as secured the release of 15 hostages held by the
terrorists during the operation.
He reiterated that the troops are nevertheless sustaining the momentum
as they continue the hunt for notorious terrorist leader, Bello Turji, among
others.
“On the whole, troops will continue to eliminate threats posed by
terrorists and destroy them on the battlefield.
“The terrorists will either surrender or be buried on the battlefield.
“Additionally, troops continue with their operations to create
conditions whereby terrorists are denied the ability to carry out acts of
terror against citizens,” he said
