Troops of Operation FANSAN YANMA (OPFY) have repelled a series of terrorist attacks in Sokoto and Kebbi States, killing two insurgents, rescuing victims, and recovering weapons.
Military sources said the first encounter occurred at about 9:15 a.m. on Sept. 30, when troops of 8 Division Garrison responded to terrorists attacking fishermen near Modachi village, Isa LGA. The attackers reportedly fled on sighting the soldiers.
Barely an hour later, at 10:12 a.m., troops rushed to Bargaja village in the same LGA, where terrorists had launched another assault, killing one local before the soldiers intervened. Three residents were rescued during the operation.
Later in the day, around 4:00 p.m., troops of 1 Brigade clashed with terrorists near Makurdi and Nasarawa villages in Ngaski LGA, Kebbi State. In a well-laid ambush along the Salka–Kinke–Makurdi road, two terrorists were neutralised, with troops seizing seven AK-47 magazines, 180 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, and two motorcycles.
Eight kidnap victims, who had fled in different directions during the firefight, were also rescued.
Security operatives say the successful operations underscore their commitment to dismantling terrorist networks and protecting vulnerable communities across the North-West.
