 NIGERIAN ARMY DISMANTLES TERRORIST STRONGHOLDS- RESCUES KIDNAPPED STUDENTS

In a series of strategic operations against terrorism and insurgency, troops of the Nigerian Army have struck a significant blow to terrorist networks, rescuing kidnapped students and seizing a large cache of weapons and ammunition. Several insurgents were neutralized, and others were captured during these coordinated efforts.


On September 12, 2024, acting on credible intelligence, Nigerian Army troops in Kaduna State executed a meticulously planned operation to free abducted individuals from extremist camps. Engaging in a fierce battle in Chigbolu village, Kachia Local Government Area, the troops successfully overwhelmed the terrorists, forcing them to abandon their captives. A thorough search of the area led to the rescue of 13 individuals—6 males and 7 females—along with the recovery of one AK-47 rifle, 87 rounds of 7.63mm ammunition, 4 magazines, a locally made rifle, and ₦192,220.00. Additionally, 5 solar panels, 5 mobile phones, dry rations, and clothing items were seized. The rescued victims have been taken to 1 Division Medical Services and Hospital for care.

In a separate operation, troops in Kachia Local Government Area apprehended two well-known terrorist logistics suppliers, Mallam Usman Waikili and Salisu Idris, at Kagarko village. The suspects were found in possession of ₦1,306,700.00, three SIM cards, 2 mobile phones, 3 national identity cards, 8 ATM cards, 2 Moniepoint POS machines, an MTN MiFi, and other items.


In another targeted raid in Suleja, Niger State, troops attacked a terrorist hideout, resulting in a fierce gunfight. The troops' superior firepower led to the neutralization of 3 terrorists, with 3 additional suspects—identified as Mallam Halalu, Mallam Suleiman, and Mr. Musa—captured alive. The suspects guided the troops to a concealed armory, where 3 AK-47 rifles, 121 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, and ₦4,079,000.00 were recovered.

These successful operations highlight the Nigerian Army’s commitment to dismantling terrorist networks and rescuing those in danger. The Chief of Army Staff has praised the troops for their efforts and encouraged them to maintain their aggressive stance across all operational areas.
