To eliminate terrorists, troops of 17 Brigade deployed at Forward Operating Base in FUDMA took up blocking positions along Turare-Kitibawa-Kuka-Mai Damusa Road in Dutsin-Ma Local Government Area (LGA), ending up neutralising 3 more terrorists.
Security Watch Africa (SWA) gathered that the move is in continuation of troops offensive operations against terrorists and other criminal elements in Katsina State.
“Consequently, at about 2140hrs on 9 May, 2026, a group of terrorists fleeing troops operations in Matazu general area were ambushed by the troops.
“Accordingly, 3 terrorists were neutralised while one AK 47 Rifle, one magazine with 3 rounds of ammunition, one motorcycle, 3 cutlasses, assorted charms and cash sum of N3,500 only were recovered.
“Troops have sustained the offensive against the criminal elements with a view to restoring peace to the State.”
Citizens were also urged to provide credible information to security forces in order to rid the State of criminals.
