Troops of Operation WHIRL STROKE, in conjunction with 117 Guards Battalion, have recorded another success against criminal elements marauding across the North Central region.
The latest success was conveyed to the general public via a statement issued to the press by the coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Major General John Enenche.
According to the Defence Media Coordinator, "the success was recorded on the 25th of September 2020 when troops, while on joint clearance operation, around Mararaba Udege in Nasarawa State raided a suspected kidnappers' camp along Bakonu road in Nasarawa Local Government Area. In the course of the operation, 3 kidnapped victims were rescued while 2 kidnappers were killed in action. The rescued victims have been reunited with their families."
"In another development, following credible intelligence on the possible regrouping of some elements linked to late Gana at a hideout around Kwaghaondo village in Chanchanji council ward of Takum Local Government Area of Taraba State, troops of Sector 2 conducted a dawn raid operation at the identified hideout. The gallant troops made contact with the armed militia elements who opened fire and fled as troops closed in on their position. Troops swiftly responded with superior firepower which led to the killing of 2 bandits while one AK 47 rifle, one magazine, and 15 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition were recovered. Currently, troops have continued to dominate the area with aggressive patrols and ambushes to deny bandits freedom of action."
