A dangerous terrorist who was posing as a police officer in Sokoto State was murdered by Nigerian Army troops working with vigilantes.
While revealing this, Maj.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, Director of Army Public Relations, revealed that the terror mastermind, who was executed on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, frequently assumed several identities in order to trick and abduct gullible people.
During a gunfight with the forces, the unidentified terrorist was shot and killed in a sting operation, according to an Army Spokesman.
According to Gen. Nwachukwu, the troops also located and demolished a residence used as a secret hospital by rebel kingpins to store pharmaceuticals and offer treatments to wounded insurgents.
According to the statement, troops in Taraba State neutralized another terrorist in Kutoko Village, which is located in the Takum Local Government Area. This occurred during a separate counter-insurgency operation.
During the confrontation, one AK-47 rifle and a magazine with four live rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition were found.
