Three of the terrorists menacing the Telele-Sabon Gida area in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna have been neutralized in ambush the federal troop laid January 15.

Three terrorists were neutralized in the exchange, and the federal troops recovered three AK47 rifles, three AK47 magazines, two motorcycles, two mobile phones.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai commended the troops for their swift and decisive action in engaging the terrorists.
