Soldiers Delete More Terrorists Rescue Kidnapped Victims, Recover Arms in Kaduna

The ongoing offensive against terrorists nationwide continues to yield significant results, with troops successfully ambushing and neutralizing more terrorists. Weapons and logistics belonging to the terrorists were also recovered from their enclaves.

On 17 September 2024, troops on a sting operation in Kaduna State, acting on credible intelligence, intercepted terrorists attempting to cross from Alawa Forest in Niger State to Birnin Gwari in Kaduna State. 

The ambush led to a fierce firefight, resulting in the elimination of two terrorists, while others managed to flee. Troops recovered two AK-47 rifles, two magazines, and three motorcycles at the scene.

In a separate operation, troops also acted on intelligence about the movement of terrorists at Hayin Nakwakina village in Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State. 

Troops sprung an ambush against the terrorists, neutralizing two of them and subsequently restoring normalcy in the village that had been earlier displaced by the terrorists. Troops also recovered two motorcycles, a mobile phone, and machetes abandoned by the fleeing terrorists.

Also responding to a distress call on Tuesday 17 September 2024, gallant troops of the Nigerian Army have extricated 20 kidnap hostages who were abducted by marauding terrorists along Kwaga-Polewire wire axis of Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State. 

The troops successfully rescued the abductees after a shootout that overwhelmed the terrorists, compelling them to succumb and run for their lives. The rescued hostages have been reunited with their families. 

The Nigerian Army appreciates the continued support and cooperation of the public in providing credible information to the troops. We remain committed to decisively curbing all acts of terrorism, insurgency, and economic sabotage in the country.
