Troops rescue 10 kidnapped victims in Katsina

Troops of Sector 2, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have rescued 10 kidnapped civilians during a swift operation against armed terrorists in Katsina State. The operation followed reports that terrorists had abducted residents of Unguwan Daudu and Unguwan Chibauna communities in Funtua Local Government Area. Following receipt of actionable intelligence, troops deployed around the Sabuwa axis were mobilised to intercept the terrorists as they fled with the victims. The sustained military pursuit reportedly put the terrorists under pressure, forcing them to abandon their captives and flee into the surrounding area. The troops subsequently secured all 10 victims, comprising three adult males, six females and one infant, and moved them to safety. The rescued victims are expected to be handed over to the Sabuwa Local Government authorities for medical evaluation and subsequent reunification with their families. The successful operation underscores the ongoing efforts by Operation FANSAN YAMMA to disrupt terrorist activities and rescue civilians abducted by criminal elements across the North-West.  The post Troops rescue 10 kidnapped victims in Katsina appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
