Troops of Sector 2, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have rescued four kidnapped victims during separate intelligence-led operations in Zamfara and Kebbi states as the military intensifies efforts to combat terrorism and kidnapping in the North-West.
The victims were rescued on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, during operations in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State and along the Bena-Sawade axis in Kebbi State.
In Zamfara State, troops responded to reports of a terrorist incident on a farmland across a river in Binoni Marafa, Maru Local Government Area, following credible intelligence.
The operation resulted in the rescue of two victims, identified as Mansur Shehu, 25, and Kadijat Haruna, 49.
In a separate operation in Kebbi State, troops launched a search-and-rescue mission along the Bena-Sawade axis following reports of suspected terrorists moving with kidnapped victims from Dupindu Village, Kanya District, Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area.
The operation led to the rescue of two victims, identified as Jimoh Su-Arege, 35, and Kalahe Danjuma, 41. The rescued victims were subsequently handed over to the Seriki of Dipindu.
The military said troops had continued to intensify patrols and surveillance across affected areas to strengthen security, maintain operational dominance and deny criminal elements freedom of action.
The successful operations underscore the ongoing commitment of Operation FANSAN YAMMA to rescuing kidnapped victims, disrupting terrorist activities and restoring peace and security across Zamfara and Kebbi states.
