Troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA have rescued four kidnapped victims during separate security operations in Zamfara and Kebbi states.
The victims were rescued on October 21, 2026, by troops of Sector 2 deployed for counter-terrorism and anti-banditry operations in the two states.
In Zamfara State, the troops, acting on credible intelligence, responded to a reported terrorist incident on a farmland across a river in Binoni Marafa, Maru Local Government Area, where they rescued two victims identified as Mansur Shehu, 25, and Kadijat Haruna, 49.
