Troops of Sector 2, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have rescued three kidnapped victims after foiling a kidnapping attempt along the Dandume-Damari axis in Dandume Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The rescue followed a distress call concerning the abduction of civilians along the road on Friday, prompting troops to swiftly mobilise to the area.
The Media Information Officer, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, Lieutenant Colonel Aliyu Danja, said in a statement that the soldiers made contact with the terrorists and engaged them, forcing them to flee into the surrounding bushes.
The fleeing terrorists abandoned their victims and a black Volkswagen Golf vehicle during the encounter.
