The following day, acting on credible intelligence, troops conducted a clearance operation in areas within the Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

They made contact with bandits, neutralising two criminals and seizing various items, including firearms and ammunition.

Major General VU Okoro, the General Officer Commanding 1 Division Nigerian Army and Force Commander Operation WHIRL PUNCH, lauded the troops for their valor and the farmers for their courageous assistance.

He urged the soldiers to persist in eradicating all terrorist, bandit, and criminal elements in their area of responsibility.
