 Not troops have fought an attack by suspected terrorists at Ongwan Garama, located in the Maraban-Rido General Area of Chikunloko Garbantaria of Kaduna State. The State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruan, confirmed the incident and said that the operatives also rescued seven persons who were kidnapped by the terrorists in the Maraban area. He said the operation followed a distress call received by security forces who swiftly responded by engaging the bandits. He added that the superior firepower of the troops forced the criminals to flee in disarray after an intense exchange. He stated that all the rescued persons have since been reunited with their families. Kaduna is one of the not-west state most affected by banditry where terror groups kill and kidnap residents at will.
