The Nigerian Army’s special patrols during the sallah festival period in Kaduna State have killed a terrorist in the state’s Giwa Local Government Area.
The Nigerian Army stated in a statement on its X feed on Sunday that the terrorist was part of a group led by infamous terrorist leader Buharin Yadi, who was killed by troops in a recent encounter.
According to the statement:
“The terrorist met his Waterloo when troops projecting a fighting patrol to Kidandan, a village in the Giwa LGA, spotted him speeding off on a motorbike, in an attempt to evade the approaching patrol.”
“The troops continued to trail the fleeing terrorist until they successfully caught up and neutralised him while frantically trying to escape into the bush at the outskirts of the community. Upon searching the area, the troops recovered the abandoned motorbike, two bags containing corn flour, and a mobile phone from the neutralised terrorist.
“Further verification by operatives from the intelligence community confirmed the identity of the terrorist, as one Daushe, a known cohort of Buharin Yadi, who had been recently neutralised by troops in the same area. The swift and coordinated efforts of the security forces have once again prevented a potential threat to the community.
“Currently, the troops are maintaining a strong presence in the area to ensure a smooth and trouble-free Sallah celebration in Giwa Local Government Area.”
