Nigerian troops have recorded a major operational breakthrough in Kafur Local Government Area of Katsina State, successfully recovering cattle rustled by armed bandits.
The development was confirmed in an official statement issued earlier today by the Nigerian Army, describing the operation as part of sustained efforts to degrade criminal networks and restore confidence in rural communities.
Security sources disclosed that the troops engaged the bandits during a clearance operation, forcing them to abandon the stolen livestock and flee, thereby dealing another blow to cattle rustling—one of the major threats to livelihoods across the North-West.
The latest success underscores the military’s growing pressure on criminal elements operating around Kafur and adjoining areas of Katsina State, as troops intensify patrols and intelligence-led operations.
Residents have hailed the action, describing it as a morale booster for farmers and herders whose economic survival depends largely on livestock.
Kudos to the troops for their courage, professionalism, and sustained commitment to safeguarding lives and livelihoods in the face of persistent security challenges.
