Troops of Operation FANSAN YANMA, of the Nigerian Army, have neutralised several suspected Lakurawa terrorist elements following a failed attack on Dadinkowa community in Kebbi State.
A counter-insurgency and security expert in the Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama, disclosed this in a post on X.
Makama stated that the armed group attempted to raid a local market in the early hours of Sunday and blocked a major access road into the community to facilitate the operation.
According to sources, security forces responded swiftly after receiving distress alerts and engaged the attackers in a fierce gun battle, forcing them to retreat.
Several of the assailants were neutralised during the encounter, while others escaped with suspected gunshot wounds.
“The attempted market raid was successfully foiled, preventing potential civilian casualties and destruction of property.
“Troops have since intensified patrols and clearance operations around Dadinkowa and adjoining areas to track fleeing elements and stabilise the security environment,” Makama stated.
