Troops of the Forward Operating Base (FOB) Tudun Bichi have neutralised two suspected terrorists during a fierce gun battle in Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the troops responded to reports of terrorist activities at Mokurata Village at about 11:20 a.m. on July 13.
The sources said the troops made contact with the terrorists, leading to a firefight in which two of the suspects were neutralised.
During the operation, troops recovered one motorcycle and a Baofeng handheld radio believed to have been used by the terrorists.
However, one soldier who was armed with a PKT machine gun and an AK-47 rifle was reported missing in action (MIA) during the engagement.
The sources disclosed that efforts have also been intensified to track down the fleeing terrorists.
The operation is part of sustained military offensives aimed at denying terrorists freedom of movement across the North-West.
