Troops from Operation Hadin Kai have successfully rescued a young man, Adam Yabana, who had been held captive by terrorists for over three months in Borno State. On September 9, the 156 Task Force Battalion, working with the AHQ Intelligence Fusion Battalion and the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), intercepted Yabana near Abasuri village in Mainok, Kaga Local Government Area.
The rescue came about due to intelligence suggesting potential terrorist activity in the region. Preliminary investigations revealed that Yabana was kidnapped while working on a farm in the Gowo area. After enduring more than three months in captivity, he managed to escape on September 8. Initially, Yabana sought refuge in Barmalanti village before traveling towards Mainok, where his capture was made by the joint security forces.
Yabana's safe return to the custody of intelligence personnel at the 29 Task Force Brigade is planned for debriefing and investigation, after which he will be reunited with his family. The troops returned to their positions in Mainok following the successful operation.
