Troops Raid Taraba Terrorist Hideout, Arrest Five Associates
On September 3, 2023, troops of the Joint Task Force, Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS), conducted a raid on a suspected terrorist hideout in Peva, located in the Takum Local Government Area of Taraba State. The operation, initiated in the early hours at approximately 12:30 AM, was based on credible intelligence regarding the hideout of a notorious bandit.
Lieutenant Ahmad Zubairu Zubairu, the Acting Media Information Officer at the Headquarters of the Joint Task Force Operation Whirl Stroke, reported that troops from Sector 1 collaborated with those from Sector 3 to execute a precision raid. However, the suspected terrorists had already fled the scene, allegedly alerted by informants about the troops' approach.
The operation resulted in the arrest of five individuals suspected to be associates of the fleeing bandit. Additionally, the troops recovered two AK-47 rifle magazines, 46 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, a woodland camouflage jacket, a jungle hat, four charm vests, and assorted charms.
