    Troops of the 6 Brigade have apprehended seven suspected terrorists and recovered a cache of weapons in separate operations conducted across the state.

    This is contained in a press statement issued by the Acting Assistant Director of 6 Brigade Army Public Relations Captain Olubodunde Oni.

    It said on 7th August 2024, troops of the 6 Brigade deployed at Kambari, acting on credible intelligence on suspected bandits attacking a Fulani settlement in Katlong Village of Karim Lamido Local Government Area, swiftly engaged the bandits who fled in disarray due to the heavy fire encounter with the troops.

    One suspected bandit named Yusuf Musa was arrested with an AK-47 rifle and 20 rounds of 7.62MM special ammunition. Also, 118 cows were recovered and handed over to the rightful owners.

    “On 6th August 2024, troops received credible information on suspected bandits en route to Mashingi Village market in Karim Lamido Local Government Area to purchase food items.

    “Troops strategically laid in wait and successfully arrested 4 suspected bandits named Yusuf Hassan, Mohammed Mamman, Haruna Iliya, and Hammadu Shaibu. Items recovered from them include 1 motorcycle, 4 Mobile phones, and the sum of Fifty Seven Thousand Naira (#57,000) only.

    ”In a related development, On 9 August 2024, following a tip-off from a credible source on suspects gathering and preparing large numbers of machetes suspected to be distributed to hoodlums for criminal activities with the plan to cause unrest within the state, troops swiftly mobilised to the general area of Magami in Jalingo Local Government Area where two suspects named Umar Zubairu and Issah Abdullahi were arrested with 436 Machetes. Other items recovered include four filling machines, one mobile phone, and several other fabrication tools.”

    The Commander, 6 Brigade, Brigadier General Kingsley Uwa commended the troops for their dedication and swift action in ensuring the safety of the people of Taraba State.

    He reiterated the Nigeria Army’s commitment to maintaining peace and security across the country, calling on citizens to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to the authorities.

    General Uwa emphasised that the Nigeria Army will continue to work closely with other security agencies and community leaders to eradicate crime in Taraba State and its environs.

    He said the arrested suspects would be handed over to the appropriate authorities for further investigation and prosecution.
