Troops of Sector 2, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have neutralised a terrorist during a raid on a suspected terrorist hideout in Gudu Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the operation was conducted following credible intelligence on the presence of terrorists around Karani village.
The troops advanced towards the suspected terrorist camp and, upon making contact with the hostile elements, engaged them with firepower, neutralising one terrorist while others fled into the surrounding forest.
During the exploitation of the camp, the troops recovered one AK-47 rifle loaded with live ammunition, one operational motorcycle, military camouflage uniforms, maintenance tools and other logistical supplies.
Following the encounter, the troops conducted clearance operations across the surrounding forest axis to dominate the area and deny the fleeing terrorists freedom of movement.
The recovered weapons and equipment have been taken into custody as troops continue operations to track fleeing members of the group and dismantle their networks in the area.
