Troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA have engaged suspected terrorists during a fighting patrol in Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara State, recovering a motorcycle after a gun battle.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the operation was conducted at about 12:46 p.m. on July 13 by troops of the Headquarters, Operation FANSAN YAMMA Mobile Strike Team (MST).
The sources said the troops carried out a fighting patrol to Tubali and Galadi villages, clearing the Katuru Galadi–Tsibiri axis before advancing to Tubali, where they made contact with the suspected terrorists.
A firefight ensued, forcing the terrorists to flee into the surrounding bush. During the exploitation of the area, troops recovered one motorcycle believed to have been used by the fleeing suspects.
The sources added that the operation forms part of sustained offensive actions by Operation FANSAN YAMMA aimed at dismantling terrorist hideouts and disrupting their freedom of movement across Zamfara State.
