Troops of the Nigerian Army have dealt a decisive blow to terrorism in Zamfara State by eliminating the notorious terrorist leader, Junaidu Fasagora, and scores of his fighters.
The Nigerian Army disclosed this in a statement released via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Thursday, detailing the success of a joint operation conducted in the Tsafe general area of the state.
According to the statement, the operation involved a combination of ferocious artillery bombardment and ground combat, resulting in the neutralization of Fasagora and his cohorts.

“Their elimination marks a crucial victory in the fight against terrorism and insurgency,” the statement reads.
“The successful operation is a clear assertion of the Nigerian Army’s relentless pursuit of peace and stability in the region and other regions of the country.
