The recently launched Operation HARBIN KUNAMA II by the Nigerian Army in Southern part of Kaduna State, which will cover some forests in Bauchi, Kano and Plateau States, has started to yield the desired result as troops of 1 Division Nigerian Army recovered large cache of arms and ammunition in southern part of Kaduna State on Saturday.
The discovery was made when troops embarked on cordon and search of Gwaska, Dangoma, Angwan Far and Bakin Kogi general area of Southern Kaduna.
During the operation, the troops recovered 73 Dane Guns, four Locally Made Rifles, one Locally Made Machine Gun and one Locally Made Pistol.
Others include 260 Cartridges, 14 rounds of 7.62mm Ammunition, 63 rounds of 9mm ammunition, one Locally made Small Machine Gun Magazine, a pair of worn out military boot and some quantities of assorted Improvised Ammunition and Pyrotechnics hidden in dug out pits.
While efforts are on going to track down the owners of the arms and ammunition, the Nigerian Army in a statement by its spokesman, Brigadier General Sani Usman, said the people of the area have been very supportive, which led to the unprecedented findings.
Similarly, in Sector 1 of the Operation, which covers Kano State, troops in conjunction with other security agencies are carrying out operations in suspected armed bandits camps in Falgore forest.
Usman said the operation is ongoing.
