Army Commander Escapes Ambush In Kebbi, Five Terrorists Neutralised by InfoGuru118(op): 11:03am On Feb 24
The Commander Sector 2 of the Joint Task Force North West Operation Fansan Yamma, Major General Bemgha Koughna, has escaped unscathed after his convoy came under an ambush by suspected Lakurawa Terrorist Group (LTG) near Mayama Hill in Kebbi State.

Demonstrating remarkable leadership and tactical skill, during the daring encounter, the commander, who also doubles as the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 8 Division, Nigerian Army, successfully foiled the attack, ensuring the safety of his troops while neutralising several insurgents.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Olaniyi Osoba, the spokesperson for Sector 2 Operation Fansan Yamma, the attack occurred while the convoy was en route to visit frontline troops deployed in the state.

“As the convoy moved through the volatile forested terrain, it came under sudden and heavy fire from armed terrorists.

“Demonstrating exceptional leadership and tactical skill, Major General Koughna and his troops responded decisively, neutralising five terrorists and repelling the ambush.

The operation not only ensured the safety of the convoy but also disrupted the insurgents’ plans, sending a strong deterrent message to terrorist groups terrorising communities in the area.

“Following the counter-ambush, troops conducted a thorough sweep of the site, recovering a substantial cache of weapons and intelligence materials,” the spokesperson said.

He revealed that items seized from the terrorists included one OJC gun, one PKT gun, two AK-47 rifles, four AK-47 magazines, a bandolier of PKT ammunition, several rounds of 12.7mm ammunition, a camel bag containing N840,000, two mobile phones, and five motorcycles.

“The successful operation underscores the unwavering commitment of the 8 Division of the Nigerian Army to protecting civilians and eliminating terrorist threats across the North-West region,” he concluded.

Good one, army commander. The merchants of death got served. Now, send the air force to track the remaining ones to their camps and bomb them to hell.

This is good news, I guess.
But the military really needs to do more; imagine ragtag terrorists having the effrontery to ambush an army commander. We can't continue like this.

Any convoy that moves around without drone surveillance ahead is just asking for trouble. Congratulations to the brigadier general for surviving this time. Make him use him head.

God bless Nigeria army, God's own army. This land of our ancestors and forebears, this land of our essence and spirits, will swallow all terrorists, jihadists, their sponsors and families.

God bless our gallant army and more power to their elbows. All the enemies of Nigeria using religion to commit evil and crime will not have rest and peace in their lives except they repent.

This is why Multi Ethnicity is very very Bad.

If Nigeria as a whole was one tribe.
We would have conquered this since 2013

The problem is we are too many tribes
So there is no unity

One tribe agree to flush off terrorist
Another tribe say we rehabilitate them
Different tribes with their own sentiment

Look at Europe
A country will protest out a government
And remove the government..why??

Because they are all one tribe!!
So when they agree on something. They all join hands and make it work

Having over 100+ tribes in a country is CHAOS and DISASTER!!

"Imagine, just five? Mmm… and the terrorists can kill several soldiers at a time. I can’t remember the last time our soldiers killed terrorists in large numbers, yet they kill our soldiers in large numbers. God help us

Re: Army Commander Escapes Ambush In Kebbi, Five Terrorists Neutralised by YoungLionken(m): 11:44am On Feb 24
Read through and saw how they kept eulogizing the so called army general for reasons best known to them, instead simply saying he narrowly escaped from the claws of the daredevil terrorists. What about Uba Sani that was captured like a common criminal and shot dead!? slowpoke!!.

Those helicopters from Germany can't get to 9ja soon enough. Hopefully they are in good condition and the pilots are extremely well trained.
