In Daring Operation, Police Storm Kaduna Forest, Kill 250 Terrorists
The Police High Command said Wednesday that special operatives backed by special forces and the police air wing stormed the largest operational camps of the Ansaru terrorist group which also housed other bandits and kidnappers located in Kuduru Forest, Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State, killing 250 members of the group.
“The operation which commenced in the early hours of today, 5th February, 2020, was carried out by a combined team of operatives of Operation Puff Adder made up of the Police Mobile Force , Counter Terrorism Unit , Special Forces, Intelligence Response Team , Special Tactical Squad and Special Anti-Robbery Squad .
The statement issued by Force PRO, Frank Mba, said the Police helicopter providing aerial support for the operatives came under attack from the bandits, who deployed anti-air craft rifles. “Commendably, the pilot and the co-pilot who demonstrated uncommon courage and expertise, successfully landed the aircraft at the Air Force Base, Kaduna without further incident. They were thereafter evacuated for medical treatment”, he said, while noting that “both officers who sustained non-life threatening injuries are currently receiving treatment and are in stable condition. The Police helicopter has since been flown out of the Kaduna Air Force Base by Police Pilots en-route to Abuja”.
