The Nigerian military fighter troops on Wednesday prevented terrorists in Niger State from attacking the State Security Service, SSS assets.
A credible defence intelligence source informed PRNigeria that the troops, with the aid of Super Tucanos belonging to the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, also succeeded in killing scores of terrorists who attacked the SSS’ assets.
The intelligence operative pleaded anonymity and said the incident happened in the Bassa community of Shiroro, a local government area of the state.
According to him, the troops’ successful onslaught against the terrorists followed an intelligence report to the military command about an ambush attack on some SSS personnel and their assets.
The Super Tucano jets were swiftly deployed for a purpose. And they didn’t disappoint. The NAF jets’ strikes eliminated no fewer than 30 bandits. However, the casualty on the part of the intelligence officers was low,” the operative said.
