The troops of Joint Task Force Operation Fasan Yamma under 1 Brigade Mobile Strike Teams have successfully conducted offensive operations against identified terrorist enclaves west of Kaura Namoda (Daji Yamma) in Kaura Namoda Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Coordinator, Joint Media Coordination Center, Lt. Colonel Abubakar Abdullahi, Operation Fasan Yamma, and made available to newsmen in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital.
According to the statement, during the operation, troops engaged the terrorists at the hideout of notorious kingpin Dan Sa’adia, where many terrorists were neutralized through coordinated air and ground assaults.
“Among those neutralized was a key kingpin identified as Babangida. Items recovered from Dan Sa’adia’s hideout include one locally made pistol, one locally made revolver, and one PKT magazine,” he added.
“In addition, troops successfully cleared another hideout at Gidan Rugga, where they recovered a pair of woodland camouflage uniforms, a pair of boots, and Baofeng radio chargers.
“Troops also reopened the Kungurki-Walo road, which had previously been obstructed by the terrorists.”
“Operation Fasan Yamma remains steadfast in its commitment to eradicating terrorist hideouts and restoring socio-economic activities in the region. We urge local communities to support these efforts for a safer and more prosperous community.”
