Troops in an ongoing military operations have attacked terrorist camps in parts of Edu, Ifelodun, and Patigi local government areas in Kwara, neutralising many kidnappers and terrorists.

In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Kwara state governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, on Saturday, the military operations hit bandits’ camps operated by notorious kidnappers and terrorists with hideouts in Baba Sango (Ifelodun), Gbugbu (Edu), and Lata (Patigi).

“It is obvious that Operation India has put the bandits in disarray and displaced them from their positions”, he said, refering to preliminary security report from the theatre.

“However, operations are impeded by activities of moles and informants within different communities who give out information about troops movement.”

A military source said the ongoing operations have destroyed many of their camps, while many of the bandits and terrorists also sustained varying degrees of injuries.

“Residents need to be vigilant. They need to speak up about the informants who give out information about troops movement. This is important for more success”, according to the source. (Nigerian Tribune)
