Troops of Operation HADARIN DAJI, yesterday, killed three hoodlums and recovered arms and ammunition from while in operation against bandits crossing Anka, a point leading to Dan Kampani in Anka Local Council of Zamfara State.

Spokesperson for Defence Media Operations, Major General Musa Danmadami, who disclosed this, noted that troops made contact with the bandits and following a fire fight, three of the terrorists were neutralised.

He said: “Items recovered are; one PKT gun with 48 rounds of 7.62mm x 54 ammunition, three AK 47 rifles, three magazines with 63 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition and three motorcycles.

“The military high command commends troops of Operation HADARIN DAJI and encourages the public to avail troops with credible and timely information on terrorist and all criminal activities within their area.”

It was gathered that Zamfara State has been facing terrorist attacks in recent times. Presently, many residents of the area are unable to attend the subh (morning) prayer due to fear.
