Troops from the Joint Task Force Northwest Operation Hadarin Daji rescued 31 kidnapped victims in Sokoto State.
Captain Yahaya Ibrahim, the spokesperson for Operation Hadarin Daji, provided details of the successful rescue in a statement released on Wednesday in Gusau.
Ibrahim stated, “The troops in a recent clearance operation conducted on Tuesday in the Tangaza Local Government Area of Sokoto State, cleared Alya Fulani village, Buani Forest, where 30 kidnapped persons were rescued.”
“All the discovered terrorists hideouts were destroyed as the terrorists abandoned their captives and fled from their camps before the arrival of the aggressive troops.
“The troops also proceeded to Goboro village where one female kidnapped victim was rescued as the terrorists/bandits fled in disarray due to troops’ fire power superiority.”
Major General Godwin Mutkut, the commanding officer, praised the troops for their gallantry and urged them to continue their efforts, ensuring that terrorists and bandits are denied any freedom of action in the area.
