Joint Task Force Defeats Lakurawa Attack in Kebbi
On October 7, members of the Lakurawa terrorist group launched a large-scale attack on Forward Operating Base Maiyama in Kebbi State, mobilizing over 100 motorcycles and armed with various weapons, including General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs) and Rocket-Propelled Grenades (RPGs). The assault aimed to overwhelm the military formation and disrupt operations in the area.
However, troops from Sector 2 of the Joint Task Force, North West Operation FANSAN YAMMA, responded swiftly, engaging the attackers and successfully repelling the assault. The terrorists, unable to achieve their objective, retreated, abandoning their weapons, motorcycles, and other equipment.
Following the engagement, the troops conducted exploitation and pursuit operations in the surrounding areas, resulting in the recovery of 17 motorcycles, a PKT machine gun, an AK-47 rifle, assorted ammunition, and a communication device believed to have been used by the terrorists during the attack.
