Troops neutralized several terrorists in Kaduna State after gun battle around the Tollgate area of Chikun LGA. Fleeing terrorists scrambled in retreat, only for them to run into ambush laid by the troops in Sabon Gida area. New GOC 1 Division Gen Lagbaja is a nightmare. The terrorists that met their Waterloo were responsible for the security breach at the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna, and kidnappings of students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanization, the Emir of Bungudu and several other citizens last year.
The Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai praised the troops for this commendable feat under the leadership of the General Officer Commanding, One Division, Major General T.A. Lagbaja, being the latest of notable breakthroughs recorded since he took command.
