Troops foil Taraba road attack as kidnappers flee scene

Soldiers actually pulled up fast enough to stop a tragedy because troops intervened immediately. Units from the Six Brigade under Sector Three of Operation WHIRL STROKE successfully blocked a robbery on the Wukari-Ikyior route in Taraba State. Service members rushed to that location after getting a distress signal about criminals barricading the path to harass travelers.

Those attackers booked it into the wild the second they spotted military vehicles approaching. The gang abandoned their targets but managed to flee on a motorcycle. Rescuers found Terso Kerso and Udongu Terbo from the Ikyior community passed out on the ground. Medical teams quickly evacuated both men to Federal University Teaching Hospital Wukari for urgent care.

Lieutenant Umar Muhammad announced that squads will patrol the zone more frequently to scare off bandits. Brigadier General Kingsley Chidiebere Uwa gave his team props for moving with speed to save lives. That commander promised to maintain high security while begging the public to share credible intel whenever strange things happen.
