Many killed as police invade terrorists’ camp in Kaduna
Special Forces of the Nigeria Police backed by helicopters have reportedly killed 250 high-profile members of the Ansaru terrorist group in an operation on Wednesday, at Kuduru Forest, Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State.
The group’s last known attacks were in February 2013 when seven foreign nationals were kidnapped from a compound owned by the Lebanese construction company Setraco in Kano. “The operation, which commenced in the early hours of Wednesday, was necessitated by actionable intelligence linking terror and criminal elements in the super-camp to series of terror-related violence, kidnappings, gun-running, cattle rustling and other heinous crimes across the country.”
“The operatives were, thereafter, evacuated for medical treatment. Both officers who sustained non-life threatening injuries are currently receiving treatment and are in stable condition.”
