TROOPS RECORD MAJOR SUCCESS, RECOVER RUSTLED LIVESTOCK IN KAFUR LGA OF KATSINA STATE
Troops of Forward Operation Base (FOB) Malumfashi, under Headquarters 17 Brigade Nigerian Army, have recorded a major operational success following the recovery of 529 rustled livestock after a fierce engagement with suspected terrorists in Kafur Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The operation, which was led by Lieutenant Colonel MM Isa, the Commanding Officer FOB Malumfashi, followed credible intelligence on the movement and activities of terrorists around Kasuwan Sabo in Kafur Local Government Area on 7 February 2026.
Preliminary findings revealed that the terrorists were suspected to have infiltrated from neighbouring Zamfara State, allegedly led by Idi Abasu Aiki, believed to be the younger brother of the notorious bandit leader Ado Aliero. Acting swiftly on this intelligence, troops of FOB Malumfashi immediately mobilised and advanced to the area. On sighting the advancing troops, the terrorists opened fire, but the troops responded with superior firepower, forcing the criminals to flee into the surrounding bushes, taking some rustled livestock with them.
Troops immediately embarked on a hot pursuit and caught up with the fleeing terrorists between Burdugau and Unguwan Matau villages in Malumfashi Local Government Area, compelling them to abandon the rustled livestock.
[Reuters] Gunmen killed three people and abducted a Catholic priest and several others during an early morning attack on the clergyman's residence in northern Nigeria's Kaduna state, church and police sources said on Sunday.
Saturday's assault in Kauru district highlights persistent insecurity in the region, and came days after security services rescued all 166 worshippers abducted in attacks by gunmen on two churches elsewhere in Kaduna.
Such attacks have drawn the attention of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has accused Nigeria's government of failing to protect Christians, a charge Abuja denies. U.S. forces struck what they described as terrorist targets in northwestern Nigeria on December 25.
The Catholic Diocese of Kafanchan named the kidnapped clergyman as Nathaniel Asuwaye, parish priest of Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Karku, and said 10 other people were abducted.
Three residents were killed during the attack, which began at about 3:20 a.m. (0220 GMT), the diocese said in a statement.
A Kaduna police spokesperson confirmed the incident, but said five people had been abducted in total and that the three people killed were members of the security forces.
"Security agents exchanged gunfire with the bandits, killed some of them, and unfortunately two soldiers and a police officer lost their lives," he said.
