Nigerian Army troops have successfully neutralized four high-profile terrorists and recovered various weapons during operations in Borno State.
In a statement posted on its official X handle, the Nigerian Army confirmed that on September 29, 2024, troops conducted a raid on Boko Haram and ISWAP hideouts in the villages of Ajiri and Mastari in Bama Local Government Area of the state.
The operation resulted in the elimination of four notorious insurgents and the recovery of military-grade weaponry, including two Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) bombs, two AK-47 magazines, 28 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, 25 rounds of 7.62x54mm Light Machine Gun (LMG) ammunition, and a Light Machine Gun barrel.
In a separate operation at Banki Junction, also in Bama, troops neutralized another terrorist.
Meanwhile, based on credible intelligence, troops in Plateau State apprehended two notorious kidnappers, Isah Abdullahi (24) and Mujahid Musa (23), during a raid in the forested mountains of Panyam. Initial investigations revealed their involvement in multiple violent attacks on villages in Mangu Local Government Area. During the operation, troops recovered two motorcycles, three mobile phones, and other paraphernalia.
In another operation, troops arrested a known arms dealer, Kabiru Zaki, in Bukuru town, Jos South Local Government Area, along with another suspect linked to a recent murder in Brazongo village, Bassa Local Government Area.
Additionally, Southeastern troops engaged IPOB/ESN militants in a firefight at Lilu, in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State, after the group attempted to ambush them using Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). The militants retreated into the forest, leaving behind a Closed-Circuit Camera and IED components.
In Katsina State, troops swiftly responded to a distress call regarding an abduction along the Gurbi-Jibia Road in Jibia Local Government Area. Upon seeing the advancing troops, the terrorists fled, leaving behind four injured civilians who were immediately rescued and taken for medical treatment.
