In a swift and decisive operation, troops of Operation FANSAN YANMA, in collaboration with the Katsina State Civilian Watch Committee (KSCWC) and local vigilantes, foiled a bandits’ attack in Matazu Local Government Area, rescuing a kidnapped mother and her child.
Sources revealed to Zagazola Makama that the armed bandits stormed Ringin Gora Village around 8:30 p.m. on May 20, abducting 22-year-old Saratu Abdullahi and her child.
Acting on credible intelligence, the troops immediately launched a pursuit operation, engaging the criminals and forcing them to abandon their captives. The mother and child were rescued unhurt, while the fleeing bandits vanished into the surrounding bushland.
The operation underscores the increasing synergy between security forces and local communities in Katsina State in tackling insecurity and restoring peace to rural areas.
