Confirming the incident in a statement released on Wednesday, March 12, Lieutenant Colonel Musa Yahaya, the Acting Deputy Director of the Army Public Relations said the army recovered two AK-47 rifles, among other exhibits.

 

“In a well-coordinated operation on Tuesday 11th March 2025, troops of Sub-Sector 4, Operation FANSAN YAMMA successfully neutralised three Violent Extremists and Insurgents (VEIs) in an ambush at an area near Ngwagi Hill, Gwagwada Community, off the Kaduna – Abuja highway in Chikun LGA of Kaduna State,” the statement read. 

Acting on credible intelligence regarding sighting the movements of the VEIs near Ngwagi Hill, troops were immediately deployed on long-range fighting patrol to the likely road-crossing point of the insurgents. 

 

The troops got into location at about 5.30 pm on the same date and successfully launched the ambush, which effectively neutralised three armed members of the criminal group.

During the operation, troops also recovered a cache of arms and ammunition, including two AK-47 rifles, eight AK-47 rifle magazines, 374 rounds of 7.62mm x 39 special ammunition and 88 rounds of 7.62mm x 54 NATO ammunition. 

 

Other items recovered were one Infinix mobile phone, medical supplies, clothing, and dry rations.

The success of the operation is a testament to the troops’ high fighting morale and combat efficiency. This achievement is also as a result of the effective collaboration between the military and intelligence agencies, which provided credible intelligence that informed the operation.
