The ongoing clearance operation by the 1 Division Nigerian Army has continued to yield positive results as troops made contact with bandits and criminal elements in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
During the well planned and adequately executed operation, troops neutralized three bandits and captured one AK-47 rifle, two locally fabricated AK-47 rifles, seven AK-47 magazines, and eight motorcycles. Others include three locally made magazines, six mobile phones, drugs, and charms.
The General Officer Commanding 1 Division Nigerian Army and Force Commander Operation Whirl Punch, Maj Gen BA Alabi, has commended the successes recorded by the gallant troops and charged them to continue the tempo and aggressiveness until all criminal elements are completely eradicated.
