The troops of the Joint Task Force North West Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) have killed 10 terrorists, rescued 9 victims, and recovered communication gadgets, arms, and ammunition in Katsina and Zamfara States.

A military source disclosed on Thursday in Gusau that the recent achievements were recorded during the dry season clearance operations, which were commanded by the General Officer Commanding 8 Division Nigerian Army, Major General Godwin Mutkut.

According to the source, “On January 3, 2024, the combined troops of the OPHD conducted an offensive operation in identified terrorist enclaves at Batsari and Safana Local Government Areas of Katsina State, neutralising 10 of the terrorists while others fled with gunshot wounds.

“The troops recovered 1 AK-47 rifle, ammunition, 7 dane guns, 3 locally fabricated guns, and other dangerous weapons, as well as communication gadgets, mobile phones, and military uniforms, while 4 motorcycles were recovered and destroyed on the spot.

“On the same day, troops of Operation Hadarin Daji, operating in Zamfara State, conducted a search and rescue operation at Dansadau and Dandalla villages in Maru LGA of Zamfara State.

“During the operation, nine kidnapped victims were rescued, which included five women and four babies. The victims were abandoned by the terrorists, who fled after a gun duel with the resilient troops.”

He said the rescued victims were immediately reunited with their families in Magami town in the state.

The Commander of the Joint Task Force North West Operation Hadarin Daji, Major General Godwin Mutkut, commended the efforts of the troops and urged them to maintain the tempo towards eliminating crime and criminals in the north west.
