 OPERATION WHIRL STROKE SUSTAIN OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS AGAINST ARMED SYNDICATE IN BENUE AXIS


Troops of the Joint  Task Force  Operation WHIRL STROKE have successfully dislodged a notorious terrorist syndicate operating in Katsina-Ala Local Government Area of Benue State, recovering a significant cache of ammunition and other logistics items during a raid operation.


The troops from Sector 1 Operation WHIRL STROKE acted on credible and actionable intelligence regarding the activities of a notorious bandit leader. Intelligence reports indicated that the criminal kingpin and his associates were operating from a hideout at Mtan Village in Utange Council Ward of Katsina-Ala LGA.


Acting swiftly on the information, the troops advanced to the location and made contact with the armed terrorist. A fierce exchange of gunfire ensued, forcing the terrorists to flee their enclave. During the subsequent exploitation of the area, troops recovered two motorcycles believed to belong to the notorious bandit, eight magazines, 162 rounds of 7.62 x 39mm special ammunition, 10 rounds of 7.62 x 54mm ammunition, 44 rounds of 9mm ammunition, links of 7.62mm NATO ammunition, and seven empty 7.62mm NATO cartridge casings. Additionally, a red Toyota vehicle discovered at the scene was demobilized to prevent its further use for criminal activities.


The Force Commander Joint Task Force Operation WHIRL STROKE, Major General Moses Gara, commended the intelligence team for their relentless efforts in providing timely information that enabled the successful operation. He equally praised the troops for their resilience, professionalism and tactical dexterity in confronting the criminal elements.


Major General Gara reiterated the importance of sustained collaboration between security forces and local communities. He urged members of the public to continue providing credible information to security agencies, stressing that timely intelligence remains a critical factor in curbing terrorism and other forms of criminality within the region.
