Troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA, Joint Task Force North West, have sustained intense pressure on terrorist elements operating in the region, recording significant operational successes during coordinated offensives conducted between 21 and 22 January 2026.
In a statement on Thursday, the Media Information Officer of the operation, Captain David Adewusi, said troops carried out multiple fighting patrols across the Joint Operations Area, leading to the neutralisation of terrorists and the recovery of weapons.
According to the statement, troops of the 8 Division Garrison Strike Force, supported by Department of State Services (DSS) assets, engaged terrorists in Gundumi Village, Isa Local Government Area.
“During the encounter, troops neutralised one of the terrorists, while others fled into the forest with gunshot wounds,” Adewusi said.
He disclosed that the troops recovered six AK-47 rifles and three motorcycles from the scene of the encounter.
In a related development, troops of 1 Brigade, working with the Headquarters JTF OPFY Mobile Strike Team, acted on credible intelligence indicating that wounded terrorists were receiving medical treatment inside Bingi Forest.
“The troops swiftly moved to the location and discovered a makeshift medical facility used by the terrorists,” the statement said.
Captain Adewusi added that the facility was subsequently destroyed, dealing “a significant blow to the terrorists’ support system and logistics.”
He noted that the continued operational gains underscore the commitment of Operation FANSAN YAMMA to dismantling terrorist networks and restoring stability in the region.
“The sustained successes recorded reflect the unwavering determination and responsiveness of Operation FANSAN YAMMA to decisively degrade terrorist networks and restore peace and security across the North West,” he stated.
