Kebbi troops repel Lakurawa terrorists and recover RPGs and explosives.

Troops of Operation Fansan Yamma repelled an attack by suspected Lakurawa terrorists and seized rocket‑propelled grenade launchers, explosives, and other equipment during a clearance operation in Kebbi State.

An operational report released to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday stated that the operation was carried out by soldiers from the 8 Division under Sector 2.

The report said the troops encountered the terrorists around Dogon Daji in Dandi Local Government Area of Kebbi on Sunday during an offensive operation.

According to the report, the terrorists opened fire on the troops but were overwhelmed by the military’s superior firepower and fled the area.

“The troops subsequently pursued the fleeing terrorists and conducted exploitation operations in the area,” the report added.

Items recovered included rocket‑propelled grenade (RPG) launch tubes, RPGs, several improvised explosive devices, two motorcycles, a charger, and other personal belongings abandoned by the terrorists.

The report noted that no casualties were recorded among the troops during the operation.

It added that the operation was part of ongoing efforts by Operation Fansan Yamma to dismantle terrorist and bandit networks operating across the North‑West region.

According to the report, sustained offensive operations have continued to deny criminal elements freedom of action while disrupting their activities and logistics networks.

The report said troops remained on the offensive and were maintaining pressure on terrorist groups across the theatre of operations.

It added that further operations were underway to track down the fleeing terrorists and consolidate gains recorded in the area. (NAN)
