Troops rescue 12, foil abduction attempts in Zamfara

Operation Fansan Yamma troops rescued 12 civilians in separate missions against terrorists in Zamfara State, according to the Media Information Officer Lieutenant Colonel Aliyu Danja. The first mission occurred on Monday when terrorists invaded a house in Kaura Namoda Local Government Area. Troops responded to a distress call, engaging the terrorists and forcing them to abandon six hostages before they could be rescued and reunited with their families.

In another operation in Tsafe Local Government Area, troops patrolling the Main Supply Route intercepted terrorists attempting to hijack a Sharon vehicle in Kwanoni Village. The troops quickly moved in, engaging the terrorists who fled into the surrounding bush after abandoning their attack. Six more civilians were rescued during this operation.

Danja emphasized that these missions showcased the commitment of Operation Fansan Yamma to safeguard lives and property while disrupting terrorist activities in the region.
