Troops operating under Operation FANSAN YAMMA in Kaduna State thwarted a suspected terrorist movement and arrested a criminal during recent security operations. According to a counter-terrorism expert, the actions took place between September 23 and 24, 2026, as troops cleared an area to disrupt terrorist and criminal activities.
On the first day, troops of Sector 1, alerted by credible intelligence about the movement of suspected terrorists in the Rijana area of Kachia Local Government, launched an ambush when they spotted the suspects. The militants, upon realizing the ambush, fled into the surrounding wilderness. A follow-up search yielded an AK-47 rifle, ammunition, and other military gear.
The next day, troops conducted a clearance operation in Awom village, Kachia LGA, to prevent terrorists and criminals from finding refuge. During this operation, a suspect named Jacob was apprehended, found with a fabricated pistol and ammunition. He remains in military custody for further investigation.
