Nigerian Army troops have neutralised a group of terrorists in an ambush operation in Kaduna State.
The army in a statement issued Saturday said the troops acting on credible intelligence, targeted the terrorist group, known for using motorbikes to carry out nefarious activities in the region.
It said: “During the operation on Friday, 4 April 2024, around Kidandan Village, Giwa Local Government of Kaduna State, the troops engaged the terrorists in a gun battle, neutralising three of them.
“The terrorist group was on transit to repair their motorbikes, which they used as mobility when unleashing their acts of terror on the populace in Kaduna State and across the Northwest region.
“The operation also led to the recovery of one Ak 47 Rifle, one stock Ak 47 Rifle, 4 motorbikes, and one Motorola Radio.”
The army, however, assured of its commitment to the ongoing Counter terrorism Counter insurgency Operations to ensure the safety and security of the populace.
