NIGERIAN ARMY TROOPS WIPE OUT TERRORISTS, NAB GUNRUNNERS & RESCUE HOSTAGES IN NATIONWIDE OPS

Nigerian Army troops went full beast mode across multiple fronts, neutralizing terrorists, busting gunrunners, recovering arms/livestock, and freeing kidnap victims – all in a day’s aggressive patrols denying bandits any chill.

In Zamfara’s Magami under Operation FANSAN YAMMA, 1 Brigade Combat Team smoked two terrorists at a crossing, snagging two AK-47 mags (39 rounds), a 54-round belt, and gear. Same day in Kebbi’s Kangiwa, they chased off baddies, grabbing an AK-47, mag, and bike. Katsina’s 17 Brigade ambushed rustlers between Burdugau-Unguwar Matau, reclaiming 51 cows, 63 sheep, one donkey – handed to Malumfashi LGA chair.

Kogi’s 12 Brigade + DSS nailed a gunrunner supplying AKs from Nasarawa to Lokoja crooks, plus rescued a Dec. 19 kidnap victim now in army med care. Plateau’s OPEP repelled Tenti armed robbers (6 locals injured, treated; manhunt on). Benue’s OPWS + DSS bagged three more gun runners at Igoje – all in DSS custody.

Army vows nonstop ops to safeguard lives, property, and Naija’s peace amid bandit hellzones.
