 OPERATION WHIRL STROKE CLAP DOWN   TERRORIST INTENT TO DISRUPT PEACE IN AMAFU IWER OF BENUE STATE, NEUTRALIZED TWO AND RECOVER AUTOMATIC FIREARM


Troops of Sector 1 under Operation WHIRL STROKE have recorded another significant operational success in their sustained efforts to rid Benue State of criminal and terrorist elements. The troops achieved the feat during a combined confidence-building and fighting patrol along the Katsina-Ala–Zaki Biam Road.


Acting on credible intelligence provided by the locals, the troops swiftly mobilised to the scene in conjunction with operatives of the Benue State Civil Protection Guard. Upon arrival at the identified location, troops made contact with the suspected bandits. In the ensuing engagement, two of the terrorists were neutralised, while others fled into the surrounding bush with possible gunshot wounds. The troops exploited the area and recovered one AK-47 rifle, one AK-47 magazine, eight rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, and a pair of green camouflage uniform abandoned by the fleeing criminals.


The Force Commander of Operation WHIRL STROKE, Major General Moses Gara, commended the gallantry, professionalism, and swift response of the troops. He noted that their proactive posture and commitment to duty continue to yield positive results in the fight against terrorism and banditry.


Major General Gara also expressed appreciation to members of the local communities for providing timely and actionable intelligence, which remains critical to operational success. He encouraged residents to sustain their cooperation with security agencies and assured them of the military’s unwavering resolve to safeguard lives and property.


He further urged troops to maintain the established synergy with other security agencies and relevant stakeholders, stressing that collective efforts remain essential to achieving enduring security and stability across the Joint Operations Area.
