Troops of the Nigerian Army on Saturday ambushed and neutralised two terrorists while travelling with arms at Rafin Sariki Village of Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Director Army Public Relations, Major General Onyema Nwachukwu in a statement on Sunday said troops promptly responded to an actionable intelligence on the presence of terrorists transiting with a sack containing weapons in the area.
Nwachukwu added that this led the troops to laying in ambush for the terrorists and engaged them in a gun battle leading to the killing of the two terrorists.
He listed items recovered the hoodlums as one AK-47 rifle, 52 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, and one locally fabricated revolver frame.
