Thursday, November 12, 2026 - Troops of the Nigerian Army have reportedly neutralised two notorious terrorist leaders, critically wounded another and recovered six AK-47 rifles previously seized from security forces during ongoing military operations in Plateau State.
The development was disclosed in a post on X by Zagazola
Makama, a counter-insurgency and security expert in the Lake Chad region.
According to the report, the latest breakthrough followed
sustained military offensives at Dajin Madam in Wase Local Government Area of
Plateau State on November 8, 2026.
Security sources disclosed that intelligence reports
received at about 8:53 am on November 9 indicated that two suspected terrorist
leaders, identified as Haruna Balatoni and Black, had been neutralised during
the operation.
Another notorious terrorist, identified as Dogo Mai Kunkuru,
was reportedly shot in the chest and left in critical condition, with sources
expressing doubts about his chances of survival.
In a related development on November 10, sustained military
pressure reportedly forced the terrorist group to return six AK-47 rifles
previously seized from security forces.
The weapons were reportedly handed over through an
intermediary identified as Ali-Kwara and are currently in military custody.
Meanwhile, troops of the 173 Battalion deployed at Mansur
rescued a kidnapped mother and her daughter during a separate operation and
recovered 39 cattle.
The latest operations are believed to have dealt a major
blow to the criminal network operating in the Wase axis, particularly its
leadership and weapons stockpile.
