Troops of the Nigerian Army under Operation Cleen Sweep have neutralised several terrorists, rescued a kidnapped victim and dismantled multiple terrorist hideouts during intensified offensive operations in Katsina State.
The Army said the successes were recorded through sustained, intelligence-driven operations carried out by troops of the 17 Brigade Strike Group and Quick Response Force, alongside elements of the 8 Division Special Forces.
According to a statement, the operations underscore the Army’s determination to dismantle criminal enclaves, disrupt terrorist supply networks and restore security across communities in the North-West.
