TROOPS OF OPERATION HADARIN DAJI DESTROY BANDIT CAMPS AND RECOVERS ITEMS
The Troops of the Joint Task Force Northwest Operation Hadarin Daji covering Sokoto, Katsina, Kebbi, and Zamfara states have continued to record more successes in the ongoing clearance operation as more armed bandits neutralized, rescued kidnapped victims, recovered items and destroyed bandits' hideouts in the Northwest.
Consequently, on 3rd August 2023, armed bandits attempted to infiltrate and attack Isa LGA of Sokoto state. The vigilant Troops deployed at Forward Operating Base (FOB) Isa responded swiftly and repelled the attack with superior firepower which forced the Bandits to flee with gunshot wounds as traces of blood stains were seen in their routes during the pursuit.
Similarly, troops of Team 8 of Sector 3 Operation Hadarin Daji deployed at Sabon Birni in Sokoto state conducted clearance operations, discovered and destroyed bandits' hideouts at Kusabunni Forest, Tafkin gawo, Alumdawa, Ungwar Mailele and Malamawa villages in Sokoto state. However, Bandits fled and abandoned their hideouts before the arrival of the troops. Items recovered from the Bandit's hideouts are 3 Motorcycles, 3 AK-47 Magazines and Ammunition. Others include varieties of pairs of both Military and foreign Camouflage uniforms including Police uniform and a Radio.
Relatedly, responding to a distress call on bandits kidnapped activities and rustling of a large number of animals. Troops of Sector 2 in Katsina state swiftly mobilized an offensive operation along the withdrawal routes of the abductors at Kore town in Batagarawa LGA of Katsina state. On sighting troops, bandits fled and abandoned the kidnapped victims and the rustled animals. Also troops of Operation Hadarin Daji in Katsina state successfully rescued 4 persons who were captured from their farm lands by armed bandits along Ungwan Madugu of Dandume LGA of Katsina state.
