Nigerian Army Vows Stiff Resistance Against Bandits in 2026

The Nigerian Army's Guard Brigade has issued a stern warning to terrorist groups, bandits, and criminal elements, vowing to resist them in 2026 within the Federal Capital Territory and its environs. The brigade emphasized its readiness to deal decisively with security threats, citing increased operational engagements in 2025.

The Guard Brigade has conducted clearance operations, made arrests, recovered weapons, and neutralized criminal elements attempting to disrupt peace in Abuja. The success is attributed to collaboration with various security agencies.
