…..Terrorists flee into bushes as soldiers mount hot pursuit
Troops of the Nigerian Army’s 1 Brigade, operating from Forward Operating Base (FOB) Tsafe under Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have rescued 33 passengers abducted by terrorists along the Magazu axis of Tsafe Local Government Area, Zamfara State.
The dramatic rescue operation took place yesterday morning following credible intelligence that the victims were being moved by their abductors to an unknown destination.
According to military sources, the troops intercepted the terrorists at about 8:15 a.m., triggering a tactical engagement that forced the criminals to abandon their captives and flee into the surrounding bushes.
In the ensuing operation, the soldiers successfully secured and rescued all 33 passengers, who were found safe.
The troops immediately launched an aggressive pursuit of the fleeing terrorists, maintaining pressure on the criminal elements in the area.
The successful operation represents another major breakthrough in the ongoing military campaign against terrorism and banditry in the North-West, particularly efforts to rescue kidnapped victims before they are moved deeper into terrorist hideouts.
The latest rescue also highlights the importance of timely intelligence and rapid military response in disrupting criminal operations and saving lives.
The Nigerian Army has continued to intensify operations under Operation FANSAN YAMMA to deny terrorists and bandits freedom of movement while protecting vulnerable communities and travellers across the region.
