In a recent operation by the Joint Task Force North West, two terrorists were neutralised and weapons and motorcycles were recovered in Sokoto State. The operation, known as Operation FANSAN YAMMA, was initiated based on credible intelligence received on August 28, 2026, about a group of terrorists transporting hundreds of rustled cattle through the Maikujera general area in Rabah Local Government Area.
Upon intercepting the terrorists, the troops engaged in a fierce firefight, ultimately defeating two terrorists while the rest fled into the surrounding bushes. The recovered weapons included two AK-47 rifles and three motorcycles, which were abandoned by the fleeing terrorists. Efforts are currently underway to locate and recover the rustled cattle in collaboration with local vigilantes.
This operation underscores the ongoing commitment of the Joint Task Force North West to combat terrorist and criminal activities and ensure the safety and security of the region.
