Other items recovered include one recoiling spring, 2 motorbikes, camouflage jungle hat, packs of tobacco and fetish  amulets. 


In a similar development, troops acting on actionable intelligence  successfully raided a terrorists' hideout at Dutsen Kura in Batsari Local Government Area of Katsina State, where  the gallant troops neutralized 2 terrorists, after a fierce exchange of fire. Items recovered from the terrorists' den include one 81mm Mortal bomb, 3 Baofeng Radios, one empty PKT Gun ammunition box/links, 4 Bandoliers , 2 motorbikes , 4 pairs of military woodland camouflage and one ballistic helmet.


In another operation in Plateau State,  troops responding to a distress call have swiftly repelled a kidnap attempt on one Mr Solomon Zakka, the Headmaster of Pilot Primary School, Daffo, who was kidnapped from his residence at Maiduna Village in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau. On being alerted, the vigilant troops pursued and engaged the kidnappers in a firefight, forcing them to relinquish their abductee.


The Nigerian Army remains highly appreciative of the support and cooperation of the public. We urge all well meaning Nigerians not to relent, but to continue to  collaborate with the Nigerian Army  in the ongoing operations across the country.
