The ambush resulted in a fierce firefight, with two terrorists eliminated and others fleeing the scene. The troops recovered two AK-47 rifles, two magazines, and three motorcycles.
In a separate operation, troops acted on intelligence regarding terrorist movements in Hayin Nakwakina village, Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State. An ambush was set up, leading to the neutralization of two terrorists and the restoration of peace to the displaced village. The troops also recovered two motorcycles, a mobile phone, and machetes abandoned by the fleeing terrorists.
