Troops of the Nigerian Army’s 33 Artillery Brigade have burnt several terrorist camps in Dajin Madam Forest, Plateau State, after clearing five identified hideout locations during an offensive against armed groups.

The operation took place on November 8, 2026, in the forest covering Kanam and Wase Local Government Areas, with soldiers advancing against criminal elements operating in the area.

According to security analyst Zagazola Makama, the offensive began at about 11 a.m., leading to the clearance of several camps used by the armed groups.

The troops also destroyed and burnt structures believed to have sustained the criminals’ presence in the forest.

Makama described the facilities as “life-support structures” used to sustain the groups’ operations.

Two armed criminals were also neutralised during the operation, according to the report.
