Troops Kill Two Terrorists, Recover Heavy Weapons in Katsina Raid
By: Zagazola Makama
Troops of 17 Brigade conducting Operation Clean Sweep III have neutralised two suspected terrorists and recovered heavy weapons and other items during an intelligence-led dawn raid on a terrorist enclave in Matazu Local Government Area of Katsina State.
Military sources said the operation was carried out in the early hours of Sunday at Ginchawa village, following credible intelligence on the activities of terrorists in the area.
The troops reportedly stormed the enclave and caught the terrorists by surprise. The suspects attempted to resist the assault but were overwhelmed by the troops’ superior firepower, forcing them to flee into surrounding bushes.
According to the sources, the troops immediately pursued the fleeing terrorists along their withdrawal routes until contact was eventually lost.
