Troops of Sector 7, Sub-Sector 71 Sanga, have neutralised a suspected terrorist during an offensive operation in Ungwan Nungu village, Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The operation, conducted at about 8:00 p.m. on Friday, September 18, 2026, followed intelligence on the activities of suspected terrorists operating from a hideout in the community.
According to security analyst Zagazola Makama, troops deployed to Ungwan Nungu moved to the location after receiving the intelligence and engaged the suspects in a gun battle.
During the encounter, one of the suspected terrorists, identified as Bashir Mohammed, was neutralised.
Other members of the group reportedly fled the area with possible gunshot wounds sustained during the exchange of fire.
Troops have since commenced efforts to track and apprehend the fleeing suspects as operations continue across the area to prevent the group from regrouping and launching further attacks on surrounding communities.
The operation forms part of ongoing efforts by security forces to disrupt terrorist activities and enhance the safety of communities in the Sanga axis.
