NIGERIAN TROOPS RESCUE 15 KIDNAPPED VICTIMS IN KEBBI
No fewer than 15 kidnapped victims have been rescued by the Troops of Sector 2, Operation FANSAN YAMMA after repelling a terrorist attack in Marge community, Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The development was announced by Crisis Reporter in North-West region through a post shared via his X handle on Sunday.
Nigerian Army reportedly launched the operation after credible intelligence revealed the presence of armed terrorists in Marge, prompting troops to swiftly mobilise to the area.
The troops on arrival engaged the terrorists in a gun battle, forcing the attackers to flee into the surrounding bush under superior military firepower while abandoning their captives.
The military said the operation was carried out without any casualties among the troops, while all 15 rescued victims were safely reunited with their families.
The latest rescue came barely 24 hours after troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA foiled another kidnapping attempt in Surimi, a border community between Kebbi and Sokoto states, rescuing four abducted victims during a similar intelligence-led operation.
