Troops Kill Six Insurgents, Arrest Three Collaborators in Kaduna Village

Troops of 1 Division Nigerian Army and Operation Whirl Punch have neutralized six insurgents and arrested three suspects during special operations in Giwa LGA.

The State’s Overseeing Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan made this known in a statement on Thursday.

Aruwan said the development was disclosed in an operational feedback to the Kaduna State Government by the military.

While addressing journalists in Kaduna on Thursday, Aruwan did not specify the exact date of the operation but highlighted that it was conducted following credible intelligence about terrorist activities in the Galadimawa general area.

The troops initiated their mission with a strategic fighting patrol, setting up their initial position at Sabon Sara village.

Upon arrival, the soldiers discovered that the insurgents had abandoned a herd of rustled cattle in a hurried escape.

The recovered cattle were subsequently returned to the local community, a move that not only disrupted the terrorists’ logistics but also restored stolen assets to rightful owners.

The operation escalated when troops encountered the insurgents at the Market Square of Galadimawa. A swift exchange of gunfire ensued, resulting in the death of six insurgents.
