Joint Task Force North West Thwarts Terrorist Attack
On October 28, 2026, troops of the Joint Task Force North West, under Operation FANSAN YAMMA, successfully repelled a terrorist ambush in Zamfara State. The troops, part of Sector 2, were conducting a patrol along the Anka–Guruzu Road when they were attacked by terrorists from both sides.
They responded with superior firepower, inflicting heavy casualties on the attackers, who retreated. One soldier sustained a gunshot injury but was evacuated and is in stable condition.
In a related operation in Sokoto State, the troops thwarted an attempt by suspected terrorists to rustle livestock and abduct herders at Takasaba Village. Acting on credible intelligence, the troops engaged the attackers, forcing them to abandon 520 livestock and two abducted herders, identified as Malam Sulaiman, 50, and Nasiru Sulaiman, 14.
