Troops of Sector 2, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have repelled a terrorist attack in Marge community, Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State, and rescued 15 kidnapped victims.
The development was disclosed in a post shared on Sunday, July 12.
The operation was launched after credible intelligence revealed the presence of armed terrorists in Marge, prompting troops to swiftly mobilise to the area.
Upon arrival, the troops engaged the terrorists in a gun battle, forcing the attackers to flee into the surrounding bush under superior military firepower and abandon their captives.
The post said no casualty was recorded among the troops during the operation, while all 15 rescued victims were safely reunited with their families.
The latest rescue came barely 24 hours after troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA foiled another kidnapping attempt in Surimi, a border community between Kebbi and Sokoto states.
The Nigerian army has continued to intensify intelligence-driven operations across the North-West as part of ongoing efforts to dismantle terrorist and kidnapping networks and restore security in vulnerable communities.
