Troops of the 6 Brigade, Nigerian Army/Sector 3 Operation Whirl Stroke, have recorded multiple operational breakthroughs across Taraba State.
Disclosing this in a statement on Monday, the spokesperson of 6 Brigade, Lieutenant Umar Muhammad, said troops deployed at Manya responded swiftly to a distress call on December 6 after armed robbers mounted a blockade along the Manya–Takum Road.
“On sighting the troops, the criminals fled and abandoned their weapons,” Muhammad said.
During a search of the area, troops recovered “one AK-47 rifle, a magazine, and three rounds of 7.62mm ammunition,” restoring safe movement along the route.
In another operation on December 7, troops at Kufai Amadu received information that four travellers from Bauchi State had been abducted inside Amadu Town while heading to Baissa in Kurmi Local Government Area.
