Troops of the Nigerian Army under 22 Brigade and Sector 1, Operation Safe Haven, have disrupted the activities of suspected terrorist logistics suppliers in Niger State.
Security sources said the operation was carried out at about 7:30 a.m. on April 26 when troops, led by the Brigade Commander, Brig.-Gen. N.N. Rume, conducted an offensive operation at Latan Daji in Patigi Local Government Area.
The sources disclosed that troops made contact with the suspected logistics suppliers during the operation and engaged them, forcing the suspects to abandon their items and flee the area.
Items recovered include three motorcycles, a sack containing assorted soft drinks, and half bags of rice and gari.
According to the sources, the Brigade Commander also held a meeting with village heads in the area, warning them against associating with or providing logistics support to criminal elements.
The sources added that troops have since returned to Forward Operating Base (FOB) Patigi, while surveillance and patrols have been intensified in the area.
