Monday, July 13, 2026 -Troops of Sector 2, Operation FANSAN YAMMA have rescued 15 kidnapped victims after repelling a terrorist attack in Marge community, Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The development was contained in a post shared on Sunday by crisis reporter in
the North-West region, Bakatsine, via his X handle.
According to the post, the operation was launched after
credible intelligence revealed the presence of armed terrorists in Marge,
prompting troops to swiftly mobilise to the area.
On arrival, the troops 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.
Operation FANSAN YAMMA has continued to intensify
intelligence-driven operations across the North-West as part of ongoing efforts
to dismantle terrorist and kidnapping networks and restore security in
vulnerable communities.
