Over 200 Bodies Recovered As Troops Lose 10 Soldiers In Zamfara

At least 213 terrorists’ and their collaborators’ bodies have been recovered days after intense gunfights between Nigerian military troops and terrorists in Zamfara communities.

According to PRNigeria, the military also lost 10 personnel, and some civilians were killed as bandits fled into the communities.

The air component and ground troops of Operation Hadarin Daji thwarted a terrorist attack on Malele Village in Zamfara State’s Dansadau Local Government Area.

Since Saturday, Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft and ground troops from Operation Hadarin Daji have been conducting a well-coordinated joint operation against terrorists.

On Tuesday, credible community sources told PRNigeria that ten soldiers were killed.

“At least we counted 213 bodies of the bandit terrorists and their collaborators. Some civilians too were killed in what the military called ‘collateral damage’ when fleeing bandits hid in the communities.

“The attack on troops occurred when the troops with the support of local vigilantes were navigating the terrains for counter-attacks,” he said.

In a statement issued by Zailani Bappa, his Special Adviser on Public Enlightenment, Media, and Communications, Governor Bello Matawalle expressed his heartfelt sympathy to the families of victims earlier caught in military fire against marauding bandits.

“I wish to, on behalf of myself, my family, the State Government and the entire good people of Zamfara state, extend my sincere sympathy to those who were injured and the families of those who died as a result of this collateral damage,” the Governor said.
