The terrorists intercepted a commercial vehicle carrying traders along the Funtua-Faskari route and took the occupants hostage.

The rescued traders were unharmed and safely brought back to Sheme Market to reunite with their families.
In a separate operation, troops in Dutsin-Ma Local Government Area acted on intelligence and intercepted a stolen gold Toyota Corolla in collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force. Two male suspects, Abdulmalik Haruna, 28, and Mohammed Kabir, 44, were arrested at the scene.
