Two terrorists have been killed by troops of the Joint Task Force North West, Operation FANSAN YANMA, during an ambush in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Security analyst Zagazola Makama shared the information on X on Sunday, saying the troops acted on credible intelligence about the movement of the attackers.
According to the Makama, the soldiers from Sub-Sector 5 set up an ambush along the Wake–Kabode–Abrum axis after learning that terrorists were heading from Gabachua high ground towards Insami and Kabode for a planned kidnapping.
“The ambush, which took place around 7:00 a.m., led to the killing of two terrorists,” Makama wrote.
Troops recovered two AK-47 rifles, two extra magazines, a mobile phone, and a motorcycle, which was destroyed at the scene.
