Soldiers participating in Operation Enduring Peace have killed two suspected terrorists, captured one bandit, and seized an AK-47 rifle in Plateau State. Details regarding the mission were released in an official report to the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday.
The confrontation took place on August 10 near Nwur village, located in the Langtang North Local Government Area. Soldiers were escorting a detained bandit to a site where he reportedly hid a firearm when they encountered resistance. Upon entering the village, the military unit faced an ambush and returned fire, resulting in the deaths of two assailants.
The captive who was guiding the troops died during the skirmish, though no military personnel suffered injuries. Following the exchange, the troops searched the vicinity and confiscated one AK-47 rifle, a magazine, and two rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition. Military efforts are ongoing to track down and neutralize additional members of the criminal group who fled the scene.
