THE Nigerian Army says its troops deployed for counter-terrorism operations in Kaduna State have foiled a terrorist attack on a village in the state, killing two of the terrorists.
A statement from the Department of Army Public Relations said troops, acting on intelligence, intercepted four armed terrorists on motorbikes at a known terrorists’ crossing point in Kurmin Aja, in the Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State, just moments before their planned strike.
The statement added that the troops, in a well-executed ambush, engaged the terrorists in an intense firefight and neutralised two of them, while others fled with gunshot wounds into a nearby forest.
After the operation, a thorough search of the area led to the recovery of two AK-47 rifles, 30 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, three magazines, and two motorbikes belonging to the terrorists.
