A statement by the Acting Assistant Director, Army Public Relations, 1 Brigade, Captain Suleiman Omale, said troops of Combat Team 6 (CT 6) in the early hours of 1 May, 2025, while on a fighting patrol, encountered a large number of armed terrorists who had infiltrated Mai Kwanugga Village in Talata Mafara LGA.

Captain Omale explained that the terrorists had been attacking locals and setting houses ablaze before the arrival of troops.

Upon contact with the hoodlums, the troops decisively engaged them in a fierce gun battle, successfully neutralising several terrorists, including five notorious bandit leaders identified as Auta Jijji, Dankali, Sagidi, Kachallah Rijaji, and Kachallah Suza.

He added that with reinforcements from 1 Brigade Quick Response Force (QRF) and 1 Brigade Special Forces (1 BSF), the troops ursued the fleeing terrorists, resulting in the recovery of a cache of weapons.
