SAA event in Dogo Ruwa area, Nigeria on Thu 9th April 2026

In a separate operation on the same day, troops of 33 Artillery Brigade, in collaboration with the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), conducted clearance operations in Daji Madam Forest, targeting camps at Dogo Ruwa and Bogwas. The operation, supported by troops of a Combat Support Infantry Battalion and Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), led to the rescue of 21 kidnapped victims and the destruction of multiple bandits’ enclaves, including one linked to a notorious leader identified as Auta Kachalla. Items recovered included one G3 rifle, four magazines, three generating sets, and a solar panel. Despite these gains, security incidents have persisted across Barkin Ladi, Riyom, Jos South, and surrounding areas.
