Monday, May 5, 2025 - Troops of the 6 Brigade, Nigerian Army, have foiled a bandit attack and neutralised one suspected bandit during a special operation in Ussa Local Government Area of Taraba State.
The operation, conducted under Operation Lafiyan Jama’a, was
based on credible intelligence about the movement of armed bandits around the
Fikyu axis in Ussa, according to a post by security analyst Zagazola Makama on
Sunday via his verified X handle.
Zagazola revealed that the troops laid an ambush around
Gafar village at approximately 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, following reports of
suspected bandits planning to launch an attack in the area.
“Troops laid an ambush along identified crossing points of
the bandits in the area. At about 032100A May 25, troops sighted some bandits
moving towards Gafar with possible intent to attack,” the report stated.
The ambush party reportedly engaged the suspects, killing
one on the spot while others escaped into the surrounding bush.
During the clearance operation that followed, the troops
recovered one AK-47 rifle and a motorcycle reportedly stolen from a local
resident.
The recovered items, according to sources, are now in the
custody of the military for further action.
