Troops of Operations Fansan Yamma and Hadin Kai have rescued three kidnap victims, foiled an attempted abduction, arrested six suspected terrorist logistics suppliers and neutralised a terrorist in separate operations across Zamfara, Katsina, Kebbi and Yobe states.
The troops also recovered 10 new motorcycles allegedly meant for terrorists, as well as weapons, ammunition and other logistics items, according to separate military statements issued on Tuesday by the Media Information Officer of Operation Fansan Yamma, Lt Col Aliyu Danja and the Acting Military Information Officer of the Joint Task Force, Operation Hadin Kai, Capt Mohammed Goni.
In Zamfara State, troops of Operation Fansan Yamma responded to a distress call on July 20 after terrorists attempted to abduct civilians from a residence in Shiyan Abiyola, Kaura Namoda Local Government Area.
The swift intervention of the troops forced the assailants to flee without carrying out the abduction, while troops subsequently dominated the area to prevent further attacks.
