Sunday, April 26, 2026 - Troops of the Nigerian Army have destroyed suspected terrorist enclaves during a clearance operation in Matazu Local Government Area of Katsina State.
This was disclosed in a post shared by security analyst and
counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama via his X handle.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the operation was
conducted at about 8:00 a.m. on April 23 by troops of 17 Brigade in
collaboration with members of the Civilian Watch group.
The sources said the troops carried out an offensive
operation targeting identified terrorist hideouts at Malamawa, Jikamshi, and
Musawa towns.
Although no contact was made with the suspected terrorists
during the operation, troops successfully cleared the enclaves, destroyed
life-support structures within the camps, and recovered one motorcycle.

efforts to deny criminal elements freedom of action and dismantle their
operational bases across the state.
They added that troops remain on high alert and continue to
dominate the general area to prevent the re-establishment of terrorist camps.
