The Commander of 6 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Brigadier General KC Uwa, on Tuesday, 10 December 2025, conducted an operational and confidence-building visit to Chanchanji in Takum Local Government Area following recent attacks that left several farmers dead.
The visit came amid ongoing clearance operations within the Brigade’s Area of Responsibility, prompted by credible intelligence indicating threats from suspected armed herders reportedly hiding in surrounding bushes.
During the visit, troops led by Brigadier General Uwa carried out extensive patrols across Chanchanji and neighbouring areas, covering key flashpoints and access routes to farmlands. The patrols aimed to deter criminal elements and reassure residents of the military’s control over the security situation.
At Chanchanji Market Square, the Brigade Commander met with community members and displaced farmers, who lamented their inability to return to ancestral villages and farmlands to harvest crops due to fear of renewed attacks. Villages affected include Ayu, Dooshima, New Gboko, Adu Tyopaa, Peeki, and Tyojande.
Brigadier General Uwa issued directives for troops to provide security cover for farmers and authorised sustained farm patrols in the affected villages to ensure protection before, during, and after harvesting activities. He assured the residents that the Nigerian Army would relentlessly pursue all criminal elements responsible for the attacks.
He also urged residents to provide credible intelligence on bandits’ movements and cautioned against spreading rumours that could undermine security efforts.
Community leaders and displaced farmers commended the Brigade Commander’s personal intervention, describing the visit as timely and confidence-restoring. Many farmers expressed readiness to gradually return to their farms under military protection.
The operation and community engagement were conducted without incident, with troops maintaining firm control and a visible security presence throughout the affected areas.
The Nigerian Army, through 6 Brigade, reaffirmed its commitment to protecting lives, livelihoods, and ensuring that law-abiding citizens in its Area of Responsibility live and farm in safety.
