Troops of Operation Fansan Yamma have recorded another major operational success in Sokoto State, rescuing seven kidnapped farmers and recovering motorcycles following a bandit attack on farming communities in Gandi, Rabah Local Government Area.
The rescue operation was carried out on Tuesday by troops of the 8 Division of the Nigerian Army deployed in Gandi, following a swift response to reports of an attack by armed bandits on farmers working in the area.
A credible security source disclosed that the troops engaged the attackers in a coordinated operation that led to the successful rescue of the abducted victims and the recovery of motorcycles stolen during the assault.
