Ten individuals have been rescued after troops of Sector 2, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, thwarted two separate kidnapping attempts in Zamfara State on September 27, 2026. The operations took place along the Tsafe–Funtua Road and at Kade Daba village in Kanoma District, Maru Local Government Area. In the first incident, troops engaged armed bandits in a brief exchange of fire along the highway, forcing them to flee.
They also rescued six persons from a commercial vehicle that had been set on fire. In a separate operation at Kade Daba village, troops responded to intelligence about an abduction and engaged the kidnappers, who abandoned their captives upon arrival. A total of three victims were rescued at the scene, while a follow-up search recovered another victim.
The rescued individuals are receiving necessary care and assessment before being reunited with their families.
