Troops Foil Terrorist Attack On Katsina Community

By RhemDy News 

Troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA under Headquarters 17 Brigade have foiled a planned terrorist attack on Kaddanya Village in Charanchi Local Government Area of Katsina State.

The operation followed a distress call received at about 11:20 a.m. on Sunday, August 9, 2026, reporting the convergence of suspected terrorists around Kaddanya Village.

According to a Special Situation Report from Headquarters 17 Brigade, troops deployed at Forward Operating Base (FOB) Radda immediately responded to the alert and mobilised towards the area.

The troops operated in conjunction with personnel of the Nigeria Police Force from the Kankia/Charanchi area and members of the Katsina State Community Watch Corps (KSCWC).

The joint security team successfully foiled the suspected terrorists’ planned attack before they could execute their operation. 

Following the intervention, the troops exploited the area and maintained an aggressive presence through patrols and domination of the surrounding communities and likely routes of movement.

The sustained patrols were aimed at preventing the terrorists from regrouping or attempting another attack within the area.
