The Nigerian Army troops deployed in Zamfara State for counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations in the North West region have neutralised a notorious terrorist leader, Junaidu Fasagora, and scores of his fighters.
A statement issued by the Nigerian Army via its official X handle on Thursday said the feat was achieved after a ferocious artillery bombardment and ground battle in the Tsafe General Area of the state.
Fasagora and his terrorist group, have long been responsible for a series of kidnappings and other terrorist activities against the populace across several states in the North West.
The statement said their elimination marks a crucial victory in the fight against terrorism and insurgency in the country.
“The successful operation is a clear assertion of the Nigerian army’s relentless pursuit of peace and stability in the region and other regions of the country,” the statement added.
