Troops of the Joint Task Force North West, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have thwarted a suspected terrorist movement, recovered an AK-47 rifle and ammunition, and arrested a suspected criminal during separate operations in Kaduna State.
In a post on X, a counter-terrorism expert, Zagazola Makama, said the operations were conducted between September 23 and 24, 2026, as troops sustained clearance operations to disrupt terrorist and criminal activities across the Joint Operations Area.
According to him, on September 23, troops of Sector 1, acting on credible intelligence about the movement of suspected terrorists through the bushes around Rijana in Kachia Local Government Area, swiftly mobilised to the area and laid an ambush.
He added that the troops engaged the terrorists after sighting them, forcing the suspects to flee into the surrounding terrain.
