Troops under Sector 1 of Operation FANSAN YAMMA have repelled a suspected terrorist attack in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The development was contained in a post shared on X on Thursday by security analyst, Zagazola Makama.

According to the post, the incident happened on April 29 at about 4:30 p.m. in Jarhawa village, when suspected terrorists attacked civilians in the area.
