Troops of the Nigerian Army have repelled an attack by insurgents on a military base in Sarkin Pawa area of Niger State.

The Chief Press Secretary to the Niger State governor, Mary Noel-Berje, who disclosed this in a statement said the insurgents attempted to attack the town and the military base around 2:23 am on Monday, July 18.

Noel-Berje said the troops who responded to a distress call, arrived at Sarkin Pawa town within 30 minutes, and that many of the insurgents were killed during a gun battle.

“The planned attack would have been devastating if not for swift response by the gallant soldiers at Sarkin-Pawa and the reinforcement team that responded swiftly to distress calls,” she said.

“The swift response by the soldiers stationed in Munya and reinforcement team’s response to the distress calls from Minna was commendable.” the statement read

The Governor Abubakar Bello commended the security operatives for making efforts to tackle the situation despite the “poor nature of the terrain in which they fight the enemies of state”.
