The Digest:

In the dense forests where fear has taken root, a counter-offensive seeks to reclaim peace. Troops of the 6 Brigade Nigerian Army have dislodged several bandit hideouts in the Takum and Ussa Local Government Areas of Taraba State, recovering arms and ammunition in a coordinated clearance operation.

Key Points:
  • Nigerian Army troops conducted simultaneous clearance operations in Taraba State.
  • The operations targeted bandit hideouts in Tarhembe, Tornyi, and Lissam.
  • Superior firepower forced the criminals to flee into nearby forests.
  • Recovered items include four rounds of 7.62mm ammunition and an AK-47 magazine.
  • One motorcycle used by the bandits was also seized during the exploitation phase.
  • Several other suspected camps in Ussa LGA were cleared without resistance.
  • The Brigade Commander commended the troops' resilience and professionalism.
This military push temporarily disrupts the bandits' foothold, yet the forest's depth remains a persistent challenge to lasting security.
