In a move to guarantee the safety of lives and property in Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State
during the Eld-Kabir celebration, special troops deployed by the Nigerian Army have killed a notorious terrorist commander simply identified as Daushe, a notorious cohort of Buharin Yadi, which had been recently neutralized by troops in the same area.
The NA noted that the terrorist was killed when the troops on patrol in Kidandan, a village in the Giwa LGA, spotted him while fleeing on a motorbike to escape.
“The vigilant troops swiftly pursued the terrorist, causing him to abandon his motorbike and he fled into a nearby settlement. Undeterred, the troops continued to trail the fleeing terrorist until they successfully caught up with him and neutralized him while he was frantically trying to escape into the bush, at the outskirts of the community,” a statement by the N.A said.
“Upon searching the area, the troops recovered the abandoned motorbike, two bags containing corn flour and a mobile phone from the neutralized terrorist,” the statement added.
“Further verification by operatives from the intelligence community confirmed the identity of the terrorist as one Daushe, a known cohort of Buharin Yadi, who had been recently neutralized by troops in the same area,” the statement further explained.
The N.A said that the swift efforts of the security forces had once again thwarted potential threats to the community.
The statement also said that troops were still on ground to ensure a peaceful Sallah celebration at the local government area.
