Nine kidnapping victims in Sokoto State were saved by Operation Fansan Yamma (OPFY) while several terrorists were neutralized in Zamfara State’s ambush.
The late on Monday night operation was conducted in response to reliable information regarding terrorist activity along Zamfara and the Sokoto States’ known crossing route, the Isa–Shinkafi–Kaura Namoda Road.
The terrorists attempted to use their captives as human shields after noticing the soldiers’ presence, according to spokesman for Operation Fansan Yamma, Captain David Adewusi, who made this disclosure in a statement on Monday.
He claims that the troops “methodically and decisively” killed a number of terrorists and let others escape with gunshot wounds.

A motorcycle, three mobile phones, two magazines containing 20 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, as well as an AK-47 rifle and two desert camouflage uniforms were recovered from the scene.
Adewusi added that Shinkafi Local Government Area officials had promised to take care of the victims’ safe reunion with their families after they were handed over.
