Troops from the Nigerian Army's 6 Brigade have made significant progress in combating insecurity in Taraba State by dismantling bandit hideouts and recovering weapons. The operation, part of a series of clearance missions, focused on notorious locations in Yorro, Zing, and surrounding areas. Armed groups in these regions have been responsible for kidnappings, thefts, and community unrest.
Key achievements include the recovery of arms and ammunition, the destruction of criminal camps, and the rescue of four hostages who were abducted in earlier incidents. The rescued individuals include a local emir's son and three villagers. Superior firepower and tactical expertise forced the criminals to abandon their hideouts. The rescued victims have been reunited with their families, and efforts are ongoing to capture fleeing bandits.
The 6 Brigade's leadership has emphasized community collaboration, urging residents to provide credible intelligence to aid operations. Local officials have commended these efforts, which aim to ensure a peaceful harvest season and secure environment for citizens.
