The Nigerian Army, as part of its ongoing Operation Forest Sanity, has successfully thwarted a terrorist attack in the Saulawa general area of Birnin Gwari Local Government Area, Kaduna State, resulting in the elimination of two terrorists.
The troops, who were conducting a fighting patrol to Saulawa, cleared the Maidaro and Ngade Alha villages before encountering the terrorists. In the ensuing firefight, two terrorists were neutralized.
