In a well-coordinated operation on Tuesday 11th March 2025, troops of Sub-Sector 4, Operation FANSAN YAMMA successfully neutralised three Violent Extremists and Insurgents (VEIs) in an ambush at an area near Ngwagi Hill, Gwagwada Community, off the Kaduna – Abuja highway in Chikun LGA of Kaduna State. Acting on credible intelligence regarding sighting the movements of the VEIs near Ngwagi Hill, troops were immediately deployed on long-range fighting patrol to the likely road-crossing point of the insurgents.

The troops got into location at about 5.30 pm on the same date and successfully launched the ambush, which effectively neutralised three armed members of the criminal group.

According to signed statement made available to Defence correspondents by the Acting Deputy Director Army Public Relations 1, Lieutenant Colonel Musa Yahaya, during the operation, troops also recovered a cache of arms and ammunition, including two AK-47 rifles, eight AK-47 rifle magazines, 374 rounds of 7.62mm x 39 special ammunition and 88 rounds of 7.62mm x 54 NATO ammunition. 

Other items recovered were one Infinix mobile phone, medical supplies, clothings, and dry rations.

Lt. Col Musa Yahaya also highlighted that the success of the operation is a testament to the troops’ high fighting morale and combat efficiency. This achievement is also as a result of the effective collaboration between the military and intelligence agencies, which provided credible intelligence that informed the operation.

The General Officer Commanding 1 Division Nigerian Army and Commander Sector 1 Joint Task Force Operation FANSAN YAMMA Major General Mayirenso Lander David Saraso has applauded and commended the troops for their resilience and successful conduct of the operation. He charged the troops not to relent on their oars until all criminal elements operating in the Division and the Sector’s Area of Operational Responsibility are neutralised.
