Troops of Operation Fansan Yamma have foiled an attempted mass abduction by terrorists in Unguwar Rogo Village, Kaura Namoda Local Government Area of Zamfara State, rescuing nine civilians, including an infant.
According to Lieutenant Colonel Aliyu Danja, Media Information Officer, the incident occurred on August 16, 2026, after troops received a distress call that terrorists, reportedly led by suspected kingpin Mallam Shuaibu, had infiltrated the community and attacked civilians travelling along a local route.
Preliminary intelligence indicated that the attack may have been carried out in retaliation for the recent arrest of suspected collaborators linked to the terrorist network.
The suspects had reportedly been intercepted earlier by troops while attempting to procure motorcycles and Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to support the terrorists' activities.
The terrorists allegedly hid inside a millet farm along the route and opened fire on passing vehicles, causing some drivers to lose control and veer off the road.
Following the distress call, troops from Sector 2 swiftly moved into the area and engaged the terrorists, preventing them from carrying out the planned abduction.
Unable to withstand the military response, the terrorists abandoned their mission and fled into the surrounding forest.
The troops subsequently rescued nine civilians, including an infant. Two women who sustained gunshot wounds during the attack were evacuated for medical treatment and are currently receiving care.
Operation Fansan Yamma said it remains committed to preventing terrorists and other criminal elements from attacking innocent civilians.
The Joint Task Force also pledged to maintain pressure on terrorist networks while taking necessary measures to protect lives and restore lasting peace and security across the North-West region.
