In a decisive blow against cattle rustlers, troops of Operation FANSAN YANMA (OPFY) have recovered 164 rustled animals during clearance operations across Zamfara and Sokoto States.
Military sources revealed on Thursday that the recoveries followed well-coordinated ambushes against terrorists ferrying stolen livestock through rural communities.
In Zamfara, troops working hand-in-hand with vigilantes intercepted terrorists attempting to move livestock from Talata Mafara to the Anka axis, recovering 21 sheep.
“Similarly, troops of 8 Division, alongside Keystone forces, repelled a terrorist attack on Garbe Kanni village in Tureta LGA, Sokoto, recovering 143 sheep and destroying a terrorist camp,” a source told Zagazola.
The recovered animals have since been handed over to the chairmen of Bakura and Tureta LGAs for onward return to their rightful owners, marking another victory in the fight against banditry in the North West.
