Nigerian Army troops carry out an operation in the forest areas of Kogi State in which they kill a suspected terrorist and recover arms, according to multiple reports. The army says the action forms part of ongoing efforts to secure key routes in Kogi, following earlier operations against armed groups in and around locations such as Obajana and the Agbaja forest. Premium Times reports that troops from the 12 Brigade Quick Response Group lay an ambush at an identified crossing point allegedly used by terrorists. The operation takes place in the early hours of Sunday and is described under “Operation TIGER PAW II.” After the ambush, the troops recover arms from the scene, as stated by both outlets. Both reports frame the incident as part of the military’s broader campaign to disrupt terrorist and criminal activity across the state by targeting movement corridors and conducting ambushes. Details on the number of suspects involved and the specific types of weapons recovered are not provided in the excerpts cited.
