Nigerian Army troops, part of Operation Fansan Yamma, have pushed out militants and seized weapons and vehicles in Sokoto State, according to a counter-terrorism expert. The offensive targeted the Tangaza Local Government Area, where the soldiers moved through known terrorist strongholds like Manu, Alkasim, and Kandam villages, as well as the Magarya forest.
Upon encountering the insurgents in the Magarya forest, the troops engaged them with greater firepower, compelling the terrorists to flee and abandon their positions. Following the initial push, the troops conducted a comprehensive search and recovered a PKT machine gun, numerous AK-47 rifles, a substantial supply of 7.62 x 54mm ammunition, motorcycles, and other miscellaneous items.
These weapons and mobility assets are suspected to have been instrumental in the terrorists' ongoing operations. The Nigerian Army maintains a strong presence in the region to thwart any terrorist regrouping and ensure the safety of nearby communities.
