The Commander of 6 Brigade, Nigerian Army, and Sector 3, Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS), Brigadier General Kingsley Chidiebere Uwa, has announced a significant reduction in incidents of kidnapping, banditry, gun running and communal clashes in Taraba State.

Uwa attributed this achievement to the relentless efforts of the Brigade’s troops, whose commitment, according to him, has played a crucial role in restoring peace and stability to the state.

He made this known on Tuesday while receiving participants of the Nigerian Army Resource Centre (NARC) Strategic Management and Policy Studies Course 7/2025, who were on a study tour of Taraba State.

During his briefing, Uwa outlined the Brigade’s operational successes over the past year, emphasizing the effectiveness of both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies in combating insecurity.

Showcasing arms and ammunition recovered from various successful operations, he commended the troops for their resilience and commitment to duty.

Speaking on behalf of the visiting team, Major General Dahiru Sanusi, representing the Director General of NARC, Major General Garba Ayodeji Wahab (Rtd), expressed appreciation for the warm reception.

He highlighted the study tour’s objective of bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical security operations, particularly in evaluating the impact of military efforts on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the state.

The tour, as gathered by our reporter, will continue with visits to other strategic locations across Taraba, providing participants with firsthand insights into the security landscape and the Nigerian Army’s role in fostering a stable environment for economic growth.
