Troops rescue 10 kidnapped victims in Zamfara

Troops from the Joint Task Force Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) have recovered ten abducted people in Tsafe town, Tsafe LGA, Zamfara State, after successfully disbanding their stronghold.

Lieutenant Suleiman Omale, Information Officer for Operation Hadarin Daji in Zamfara, said in a statement on Wednesday that the forces demonstrated outstanding gallantry and determination during the operation, which resulted in the bandits’ dispersion.

While describing the activities that led to the release of the abductees, Omale said the OPHD team reacted to a distress call on the night of March 12, 2024, and engaged the bandits in a heated gun duel upon arrival in Tsafe town.
