Troops of Sector 1, Joint Task Force North West, Operation Fansan Yamma, have neutralised a terrorist and recovered four motorcycles during a dawn offensive in Dan Musa Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The operation was conducted on 4 September 2026, following credible intelligence on the presence of terrorists in the general area of Yantumaki Forest.
According to a statement by the Media Information Officer, Joint Task Force (North West) Operation Fansan Yamma, Lieutenant Colonel Aliyu Danja, troops conducted a coordinated offensive and engaged the terrorists with maximum firepower, forcing them to flee into surrounding bushes.
“During exploitation of the area, troops confirmed the neutralisation of one terrorist and recovered four motorcycles, one mobile phone and five empty intravenous drip containers, suspected to have been used in the treatment of wounded terrorists,” the statement said.
The military said the successful operation further demonstrates the unwavering commitment of troops of Operation Fansan Yamma to sustain pressure on terrorist networks, degrade their operational capabilities and deny them freedom of action across the Joint Operations Area.
