Troops of Sector 2, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have rescued five abducted women, including a mother and her infant, during a swift operation in Sabuwa Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The troops acted on intelligence about the movement of terrorists around the Madaci Forest area, mobilising rapidly to intercept the criminals through tactical manoeuvres.
According to the operation’s account, the military action caused confusion among the terrorists and created an opportunity for the troops to safely rescue the victims.
The rescued persons, comprising a mother with her infant and three other minors and young adults, were identified as being from Danja and Funtua Local Government Areas.
The victims were subsequently handed over to the Chairman of Bakori LGA, Hon. Abubakar Musa, for reunification with their families.
The troops have meanwhile sustained aggressive patrols in the area as part of efforts to dominate the forest and restrict the movement of terrorists and other criminal elements.
