\u201cIn a swift response to a distress call, troops of Operation Hadarin Daji thwarted a massive abduction attempt by bandits in the Tsohuwar Tasha area of Kaura Namoda Local Government Area of Zamfara.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn March 5, 2024, the troops engaged the bandits in a heavy gunfight, forcing them to withdraw in disarray through a riverline.<\/p>\n

\u201cPursuing the fleeing criminals, our gallant troops neutralized one of the assailants along their withdrawal route while others fled with gunshot wounds,\u201d Omale said.<\/p>\n

According to him, the rescued kidnapped victims comprised eight females and seven males.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe restoration of normalcy in the area is now secured, bolstered by confidence-building patrols.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe troops remain on high alert, with morale at its peak\u201d, Omale added.<\/p>\n

Already, Maj.-Gen. Godwin Mutkut, the General Officer Commanding 8 Division of the Nigerian Army Sokoto, has commended the professionalism and resilience of the troops.<\/p>\n
