The Nigerian Army says its troops killed a terrorist and recovered four AK-47 magazines in Kaduna. The army said this in a statement by a spokesman for I Division, Musa Yahaya, on Monday.
“Troops while on clearance operations in the general areas of Sabon Birni, Dogon Dawa, Maidaro, Ngede Alpha and Rafin Kaji on August 25, made contact with elements of terrorists. In the firefight that ensued, our troop overpowered and neutralised one of the terrorists while others fled with suspected gunshot injuries,” said the army.
The statement said four AK-47 magazines (three fully loaded with a total quantity of 60×7.62mm Special ammunition and one empty magazine), a PKT belt with 86 rounds of ammunition, two motorcycles (one of which was destroyed), a Techno mobile phone, a Baofeng handheld radio, and an Airtel recharge card worth N5,000 were recovered.
He said the division’s general officer commanding (GOC) and commander of ‘Operation WHIRL PUNCH’, Mayirenso Saraso, commended the troops for the successful operation.
Mr Saraso also charged them to redouble their efforts as well as make life unbearable for all terrorists, insurgents and their collaborators in the division’s area of responsibility. He commended the good people of Kaduna, Kano, Niger and Jigawa States for their continuous cooperation.
Mr Saraso also urged them always to use the division’s toll-free line, 08000020204, to communicate actionable intelligence and information to further assist the division and other security agencies in projecting offensive operations against criminal elements.
