In a recent encounter in Kangiwa Local Government Area of Kebbi State, soldiers belonging to the 1 Battalion, 8 Division, Sector 2 of Operation FANSAN YAMMA (OPFY) successfully neutralised several suspected members of the Lakurawa terrorist group. After days of tracking and surveillance, the troops engaged the group at a location within the area.
During the operation, the soldiers disabled multiple terrorists and recovered a collection of weapons and other items linked to the terrorist organization. Among the items seized were a PKT machine gun, an AK-47 rifle, spare rifle magazines, and several bandoliers filled with ammunition. Additionally, the troops confiscated four motorcycles, a substantial amount of cash, and three mobile phones.
The recovery of these weapons and mobility assets is anticipated to bolster ongoing security efforts aimed at curbing the activities of the Lakurawa terrorists across the North-West region.
This operation highlights the critical role of sustained intelligence-led tracking and aggressive action in preventing terrorist groups from maintaining mobility and disrupting their logistical and operational support networks within the OPFY Joint Operations Area. The troops are currently conducting ongoing clearance and interdiction operations targeting terrorist and criminal elements in the affected areas.
