OPERATION LAFIYAN JAMAA: 6 BRIGADE TROOPS NEUTRALIZE TWO TERRORISTS, RECOVER WEAPONS, AND DESTROY BANDITS’ CAMPS IN TARABA STATE

In continuation of the intensified efforts to rid Taraba State of criminal elements, troops of 6 Brigade Nigerian Army/Sector 3 Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS), have recorded yet another operational success under the ongoing clearance operations code-named “OPERATION LAFIYAN JAMAA”.

On 14 April 2025, acting on credible intelligence, troops swiftly responded to the movement of suspected bandits between Mayokan and Bondogri villages in Bali Local Government Area (LGA).

The troops tactically advanced to the general area and made contact with the bandits around Garbatau, Garin Hamidu, Bandaguri, and Mayokan villages. A fierce exchange of gunfire ensued, resulting in the neutralization of two terrorists, while several others escaped with gunshot wounds.

Items recovered from the scene include, 1 AK-47 Rifle, 1 AK-47 Magazine, 4 rounds of 7.62mm Special Ammunition, 1 Single Barrel Dane Gun, 27 Arrows and 6 Cutlasses.

In a separate operation conducted the same day in Ibi LGA, troops carried out a clearance patrol to suspected bandits’ hideouts around Yamiri Village in Sarkin Kudu Ward. On sighting the advancing troops, the criminals fled in disarray, abandoning their camp.

Subsequent exploitation of the area led to the recovery of the following items, 1 Military Woodland Camouflage Uniform and 1 Bible.
The troops proceeded to destroy all discovered camps to deny the criminals any further operational base in the area.

The Commander 6 Brigade Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Kingsley Chidiebere Uwa, commended the troops for their gallantry and reiterated the Brigade’s commitment to ensuring lasting peace and security across Taraba State. He urged the public to continue providing timely and credible information to aid ongoing military operations.

General Uwa added that 6 Brigade Nigerian Army will remain resolute in its mission to safeguarding lives and property of citizens and will not relent until all criminal elements are flushed out of the state.
