Troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA have arrested four suspects and recovered motorcycles following a suspected terrorist attack in Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
Security sources said the troops of 1 Brigade, deployed at Forward Operating Base (FOB) Maradun, responded at about 10:30 a.m. on April 22 after receiving intelligence reports of terrorist activities in Kofa Kyarawa village.
The sources said the attackers reportedly set several houses ablaze, causing panic and forcing residents to flee for safety.
Following the incident, troops moved into the area and apprehended four suspects believed to be connected to the attack.
The operation also led to the recovery of 13 motorcycles suspected to have been used or abandoned during the incident.
The suspects and recovered motorcycles were handed over to the Nigeria Police for further investigation and possible prosecution.
Security forces have since intensified patrols in the area to restore normalcy and prevent further attacks.
