Troops of Operation FANSAN YANMA conducting a fighting patrol in Maigora village, Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State, have successfully neutralized 12 terrorists and capturing multiple motorcycles used by the assailants.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that that the terrorists were neutralized on Friday when the armed bandits stormed the village around 12:30 p.m.
However, troops in the vicinity swiftly responded, engaging the attackers in a firefight that forced them to withdraw into nearby bushes.

In the initial encounter, troops neutralized five bandits and seized two motorcycles. During a follow-up operation, the fleeing bandits regrouped and launched a counterattack on the troops, who decisively repelled them and pursued them into the hills.
The security forces then engaged the retreating bandits with mortar fire, killing seven more and scattering the remaining fighters.
Further exploitation of the area led to the capture of seven additional motorcycles belonging to the terrorists.
Battle damaged assessments indicated that a key bandit leader, identified as Malum, sustained gunshot wounds during the engagement.
Meanwhile, sources confirmed that at least 12 bandits were buried on Friday evening, including a senior commander known as Dogo, who was neutralized during the operation.

As of Friday morning, security operatives have maintained dominance in the area to prevent any further incursion by the bandits.

Troops of Operation FANSAR YANMA, in collaboration with local vigilantes, repelled another attack by bandits on Mada town in Gusau Local Government Area of Zamfara State, killing four of the assailants.
The attack, which occurred at about 10 p.m. on Friday, was the latest in a series of retaliatory assaults on the town by bandits following the killing of a notorious kingpin in the area.
A security source told Zagazola Makama that the troops, acting on intelligence, swiftly engaged the attackers in a fierce gun battle, forcing them to retreat into the forest with gunshot wounds.
“The bandits stormed the town in an attempt to unleash terror, but the security forces and vigilantes responded effectively. We neutralized four of them, while others escaped with injuries,” the source said.
A resident identified as Naziru Bakanike Mada sustained a gunshot wound on his shoulder during the confrontation and was rushed to a nearby medical facility for treatment.
Zagazola report that Friday’s attack marked at least the fourth attempt by the bandits to overrun Mada in revenge for the killing of notorious bandit leader, Alhaji Sani Dan Garin Bawo, by security forces in an earlier military operation.
Since March 11, to date, fighters loyal to neutralized kingpin headed bandits Dogo Hamza have carried out a large-scale retaliatory attack on Mada. However, security forces have consistently repelled their incursions, inflicting heavy casualties on them.
“Mada is their burial ground, let them keep coming and continue trying their luck and we shall continue sending them to their maker,”said a military official.
