In a decisive operation across Kebbi State, troops from 8 Division/Sector 2 of Operation Fansan Yamma have neutralized multiple terrorists and bandits while targeting known criminal hideouts. The mission aimed to dismantle networks threatening local communities and curtail violent activities in the region.
Contrary to earlier media speculation, sources clarified that this military action was not directly connected to the recent abduction of 25 students from Government Secondary School, Maga. Officials emphasized that the operation focused solely on neutralizing terrorist enclaves to preempt future attacks.
Officials confirmed that while several bandits were successfully neutralized, a few soldiers sustained injuries during the mission, though no fatalities were reported. The engagement highlighted both the dangers faced by the military and their ongoing commitment to regional security.
The operation follows the high-profile kidnapping in Maga, which prompted Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Waidi Shaibu, to visit Kebbi State. During his visit, he instructed Operation Fansan Yamma troops to intensify efforts against terrorist groups and bandits, including neutralizing their hideouts and executing all possible measures to secure the release of abducted students.
This military initiative underscores the Nigerian Army’s strategic approach to combating terrorism and banditry, aiming to protect citizens while maintaining law and order in volatile areas.
