In a decisive move to combat terrorism and ensure the safety of citizens, the Nigerian Army executed a daring operation in Kaduna State, targeting the heart of terrorist activities in Basurfe village, southwest of Kidandan. Acting on credible intelligence, troops embarked on the mission to neutralize threats posed by violent extremists operating in the area.
Encountering fierce resistance in the form of an ambush upon approaching the village, the troops displayed remarkable tactical prowess, swiftly overcoming the insurgents’ defenses. In the ensuing confrontation, two terrorists were neutralized as they attempted to flee on motorbikes, while valuable assets in the form of two AK-47 rifles, three magazines, and a motorbike were seized. This successful engagement dealt a significant blow to the terrorist network, disrupting their operations and signaling the Nigerian Army’s unwavering commitment to combating terrorism on all fronts.
Discovery of Terrorists’ Administrative Refuge Sparks Intensified Operation
The operation took a pivotal turn upon the discovery of the insurgents’ administrative refuge strategically nestled on high ground within the area. Recognizing the importance of dismantling this stronghold, the troops launched a relentless assault, swiftly dislodging the enclave and seizing critical assets. Among the spoils of the operation were a Semi Automatic Pump-action rifle, 16 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), and two Baofeng communication radio sets. Additionally, a cache of medical supplies, including hand gloves, face masks, and tobacco, highlighted the site’s dual function as a medical center for treating wounded terrorists.
The successful neutralization of threats and dismantling of the insurgents’ administrative infrastructure underscored the Nigerian Army’s unwavering resolve to restore peace and stability not only in Kaduna State but across the nation. This decisive operation serves as a testament to the military’s commitment to safeguarding communities against the scourge of terrorism, reaffirming its role as a bulwark against violent extremism.
