[/b]TROOPS OF OPERATION FANSAN YAMMA DEAL HEAVY BLOW TO TERRORISTS, RESCUE ABDUCTEES IN SOKOTO AND KATSINA STATES[b]

Troops OF Sector 2 Operation FANSAN YAMMA in a sustained effort to rid the North West region of terrorism and banditry have recorded another significant operational successes. Through a series of coordinated offensive operations across Sokoto and Katsina States, the gallant troops neutralised armed terrorists, foiled a terrorist attack and thwarted a kidnapping attempt and recovered large cache of arms and rustled livestock.

The first of these decisive encounters occurred on 21 June 2026, when armed terrorists attempted to infiltrate Tureta town in Sokoto State. Responding swiftly to actionable intelligence, the vigilant troops engaged the criminals, forcing them to abandon their sinister mission and flee.

Following this initial encounter, aerial surveillance tracked the fleeing terrorists to Sulubawa Gidan Kare village, where they were observed moving with abducted civilians and rustled livestock. Acting promptly, the troops launched a hot pursuit. Despite encountering a hastily mounted ambush by the retreating terrorists, the troops displayed exceptional courage and superior firepower, fighting through the ambush and compelling the criminals to scatter. This valiant effort led to the successful rescue of the abductees, the recovery of the rustled cattle and the seizure of 2 motorcycles used by the terrorists.

In a related development during the early hours of 22 June 2026, troops executed an intelligence-driven dawn raid on a known terrorist enclave in Matazu Local Government Area of Katsina State. The surprise assault completely overwhelmed the terrorists. During the ensuing firefight, 2 terrorists were neutralised, while several others fled the scene with varying degrees of gunshot wounds.

A thorough exploitation of the hideout yielded significant recoveries, including One PKT assault rifle, one AK 47 rifle with a quantity of ammunition, 3 motorcycles, mobile communication devices, rustled livestock, and other logistical items used to facilitate their criminal enterprises.

These recent victories underscore the unwavering determination, professionalism, and resilience of the troops of JTF NW Operation FANSAN YAMMA in taking the fight directly to the enclaves of terrorist and criminal elements. We assure the public that aggressive operations will be sustained to dismantle all terrorist networks, deny them freedom of action and restore lasting peace and security across the North West region.

[/b]NAF STRENGTHENS JOINT BATTLEFIELD COORDINATION THROUGH AIR-TO-GROUND INTEGRATION AND CIVILIAN HARM MITIGATION TRAINING[b]

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), through the Air Warfare and Doctrine Centre (AWDC), has reinforced its commitment to strengthening joint operational effectiveness by conducting an in-theatre Air-to-Ground Integration (AGI) and Civilian Harm Mitigation (CHM) orientation training for personnel of Operation Savannah Shield. Held from 22–26 June 2026, the programme brought together personnel drawn from the Nigerian Army, Nigerian Navy and the NAF. The specialised training was designed to deepen participants' understanding of joint force employment, enhance air-ground coordination and improve mission planning and execution within contemporary operational environments.

The comprehensive programme combined classroom instruction, interactive engagements and practical demonstrations to enhance participants' operational competence. Training focused on key air-to-ground integration procedures, joint planning, mission coordination and contemporary operational practices, alongside legal, ethical and practical measures for mitigating civilian harm during military operations. An abridged Air Liaison Officers' course was also conducted for NAF pilots and Regiment officers at NAF Base Kainji, broadening their understanding of joint air operations, operational planning, air mobility coordination and inter-service collaboration. These engagements further strengthened participants' appreciation of integrated battlefield operations and the importance of precision, professionalism and effective teamwork in modern military missions.

Speaking during the programme, the Commandant, Air Warfare and Doctrine Centre, Air Vice Marshal Garba Jibia, underscored the growing importance of integrated operations in addressing evolving security challenges, noting that effective coordination, rapid decision-making and seamless cooperation between air and ground forces are essential to mission success. Echoing the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke's assertion that "Decisive air power delivers its greatest effect when seamlessly integrated with surface operations," he explained that the training was carefully designed to enhance professionalism and mission readiness in line with the Chief of the Air Staff's command philosophy. Participants described the programme as insightful, practical and professionally rewarding, noting that the knowledge gained would strengthen future operational planning and mission coordination. The successful training further underscores the Nigerian Air Force's commitment to building an integrated, mission-ready joint force capable of delivering precise air power effects while safeguarding civilian lives, thereby enhancing operational effectiveness and national security.

useless government YES worse and clueless chiefs NO. Mention to me what they're haven't done compared to other service chiefs. The family of the victims wanted negotiations, infact it was the first right step to take, it took a really long time then it stalled.
Special Operations units from ONSA and DHQ are currently in the forest for the rescue operation.
In the initial phase of the rescue during negotiations period we lost two men during heavy clashes, the terrorists are large the area is laden with IEDs it would take awhile but they'll be out soon
