In a major military operation, Nigerian troops successfully intercepted and neutralized migrating terrorists in Kaduna State, killing four in two separate ambushes. Acting on credible intelligence, the Nigerian Army reported that the terrorists were attempting to relocate from Alawa Forest in Niger State to Birnin Gwari in Kaduna State.

During the first ambush, a fierce firefight broke out, leading to the elimination of two terrorists, while others managed to escape. Troops recovered two AK-47 rifles, magazines, and three motorcycles from the scene.

In a separate operation at Hayin Nakwakina village in Giwa Local Government Area, another ambush resulted in the death of two additional terrorists. The village, previously displaced by insurgent activity, saw normalcy restored after troops recovered motorcycles, a mobile phone, and machetes left behind by the fleeing criminals.

Additionally, in response to a distress call, Nigerian troops rescued 20 kidnap victims along the Kwaga-Polewire axis in Birnin Gwari. After a shootout, the terrorists were overwhelmed, abandoning the hostages, who have since been reunited with their families.

The Nigerian Army thanked the public for their continued support and credible intelligence, reaffirming their commitment to eradicating terrorism, insurgency, and economic sabotage across the country. The ongoing military offensive continues to yield significant successes, with more terrorists being neutralized and weapons seized from their hideouts.
