Security sources, who confirmed the story to LEADERSHIP on Thursday, said: “following available critical intelligence received from the Department of State Services (DSS), a combined team of security operatives comprising the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) and other sister agencies on September 11, 2024, successfully repelled a group of Boko Haram terrorists and bandit elements, who attacked Bassa-Kukoki village, Allawa district of Shiroro LGA, Niger State.”

 

The sources added: “while the dissidents suffered huge casualties, regrettably, three members of the community were killed by the fleeing terrorists. It may also be noted that no security personnel was affected during the operation.”

In other operations, the DSS also arrested suspected crude oil thieves/unscrupulous economic saboteurs on September 7, 2024.

 

The sources said: “operatives of Delta State Command of the DSS intercepted a wooden barge containing about 37,000 barrels of crude oil in the operation. Also, during the operation, five suspects connected to the incident were arrested and are being investigated and profiled.”

 

Meanwhile, a combined team of the DSS and the Military has also apprehended a highprofile commander of the proscribed IPOB.

The sources stated that “the arrest followed intelligence which confirmed his active involvement in the coordination of IPOB activities in Ebonyi State. He had recruited several mercenaries in preparation for further attacks in Ebonyi State. 600 rounds of 5.56mm caliber ammunition among other items were recovered from the suspect.”
