S
pecial Operatives of Operation

Puff Adder of the Nigeria Po-
lice backed by the Special Forc-
es of the Police Airwing, in a

daring offensive operation, stormed
one of the largest operational camps of

the Ansaru Terror Group (also hous-
ing other bandits and kidnappers) lo-
cated in Kuduru Forest, Birnin Gwari,

Kaduna State and successfully neutral-
ized over 250 high-profile members of

the Ansaru Terror Group.
The operation which commenced in
the early hours of today, 5th February,
2020, was carried out by a combined
team of operatives of Operation Puff
Adder made up of the Police Mobile
Force (PMF), Counter Terrorism Unit
(CTU), Special Forces, Intelligence
Response Team (IRT), Special Tactical

Squad (STS) and Special Anti-Rob-
bery Squad (SARS). The operation

was necessitated by actionable intelli-
gence linking terror and criminal ele-
ments in the super camp to series of

terror-related violence, kidnappings,
gun-running, cattle rustling and other
heinous crimes across the country.
Unfortunately, during the operation,

a Police Bell helicopter, which provid-
ed aerial and intelligence cover for

the ground troops came under attack
from the bandits using sophisticated

anti-aircraft rifles and GPMG. Com-
mendably, the pilot and the co-pilot

who demonstrated uncommon cour-
age and expertise, successfully landed

the aircraft at the Air Force Base, Ka-
duna without further incident. They

were thereafter evacuated for medical
treatment. Both officers who sustained

non-life threatening injuries are cur-
rently receiving treatment and are in

stable condition.
The Police helicopter has since been
flown out of the Kaduna Air Force

Base by Police Pilots en-route to Abu-
ja.

Meanwhile, the Inspector General
of Police assures citizens of safety and
sustained intelligence-led operations
against bandits across the length and
breadth of the nation. He has equally
applauded the unparalleled bravery,
commitment and dedication of the

Police operatives currently conduct-
ing the special mission.
