Troops of the Nigerian Army’s 33 Artillery Brigade have destroyed five terrorist hideouts and several criminal camps in Dajin Madam Forest, covering Kanam and Wase Local Government Areas of Plateau State.
The operation, which took place on November 8, 2026, was part of an offensive aimed at flushing out armed groups operating within the forest.
According to security analyst Zagazola Makama, the troops launched the operation at about 11 a.m., advancing into the forest and clearing five identified locations used as hideouts by the criminal groups.
During the operation, soldiers reportedly destroyed and set ablaze structures believed to have served as support facilities for the armed groups, disrupting their activities in the area.
