Troops of the Joint Task Force, Operation Hadarin Daji, have recovered arms and motorcycles during offensive operations in parts of Kachia and Kajuru Local Government Areas of Kaduna State.

Sources told Zagazola Makama on Thursday that the troops conducted cordon-and-search operations at Gada Naji, Wake, Insame and Kabode general areas on Wednesday.

According to the sources, contact was made with terrorists between Kabode and Abrum Forest areas but they fled on sighting the advancing forces.

Items recovered included three motorcycles, three Baofeng radios and a mobile phone.

The sources further said that the troops engaged fleeing terrorists escaping across a river line towards Mai-Ido axis but could not pursue further due to difficult terrain.

The sources added that similar clearance operations were carried out in Kajuru LGA covering Maraban Kajuru, Kasuwa Magani, Rimau, Kallah, Gefe, Sabon Gari Afogo and surrounding communities.
