Ongoing military operations have attacked terrorist camps in parts of Edu, Ifelodun, and Patigi Local Government Areas in Kwara State, neutralising many kidnappers and terrorists.

The military operations hit bandits’ camps operated by notorious kidnappers and terrorists with hideouts in Baba Sango (Ifelodun), Gbugbu (Edu), and Lata (Patigi). 

This was according to a preliminary security report from the theatre on Saturday in Ilorin.

“It is obvious that Operation India has put the bandits in disarray and displaced them from their positions.

“However, operations are impeded by activities of moles and informants within different communities who give out information about troops movement,” the source stated. 

A military source said the ongoing operations have destroyed many of their camps, while many of the bandits and terrorists also sustained varying degrees of injuries. 

“Residents need to be vigilant. They need to speak up about the informants who give out information about troops movements. This is important for more success,” the source added.
