Troops of the Special Operations Brigade, under Operation Fansan Yamma, have eliminated six terrorists in Sokoto State and recovered weapons from them just as it lost five of its personnel in the fiercest battle.
It was said that the troops engaged the terrorists during coordinated offensive operations against Lakurawa terrorists in Gudu LGA of Sokoto State.
Coordination Centre for Operation Fansan Yamma, Lieutenant Colonel Abubakar Abdullahi, said, “Following a firefight, troops neutralised six terrorists and recovered four AK47 rifles, 160 rounds of 7.62mm special ammo, and a box of 12.7mm ammo, amongst other items. Sadly, the operation resulted in the loss of five gallant soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice.”
In light of these events, the public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities related to terrorist activity in Gudu LGA and surrounding areas to military and security forces. Public cooperation is crucial in maintaining the safety and security of our communities.
