Deep in Bauchi’s forests, the military just dealt bandits a heavy blow, camps flattened, logistics gone, and escape routes cut off.
The Nigerian Army has ramped up its offensive in Bauchi, storming terrorist hideouts and dismantling key operations in the Dajin Madam forest.
Working alongside the Office of the National Security Adviser, troops from the 33 Artillery Brigade overran notorious camps linked to criminal groups, including Azuge and Hari — effectively breaking their stronghold in the area.
The operation wasn’t just a raid — it was a full disruption.
Several fighters were neutralised, others fled under pressure, while 19 family members — women and children — were taken into custody.
Troops also recovered a mix of dangerous and deceptive gear: AK-47 magazines, tramadol, fake identity items, police and military uniforms, plus horses and motorcycles used for mobility — many of which were destroyed on the spot.
Follow-up operations in nearby Mainamaji showed just how effective the heat has been — no contact with bandits, suggesting they’ve either scattered or gone into hiding.
For now, the military says it’s holding the ground, tightening control, and making sure there’s no comeback.
The pressure is on — and the forests are no longer a safe haven.
