Troops of the Nigerian Army have killed two terrorists in an ambush operation in Kaduna State on Wednesday.
The NA disclosed this in a statement and pictures shared on X.com on Thursday.
The statement partly read, “The troops, responding to actionable intelligence, executed a well-coordinated ambush along the Tasha-Bwari Road, a vital link between Gurara town in Kachia and Kagarko Local Government Areas of Kaduna State.
“During the operation, the troops engaged the terrorists in a fierce gun battle, resulting in the neutralisation of two terrorists, while others straggled away with gunshot wounds.”
The soldiers were said to have recovered an AK-47 rifle with 27 rounds of ammunition, two machetes, two mobile phones, and a sum of N80,000, among others, during the operation.
The Nigerian Army further described the operation as a significant blow to the terrorist network operating in the state.
While commending the troops for their bravery and professionalism, the Army assured the public of its unwavering commitment to combating terrorism and ensuring the safety of citizens.
