Troops eliminate terrorist leader, rescue kidnap victims

Troops of Operation HadarinDaji have neutralized a notorious terrorist leader, identified as Sainaje from Katsina State and rescued 20 kidnap victims in separate operations conducted in Zamfara State.

Captain Yahaya Ibrahim, the Information Officer of Operation HadarinDaji, released a statement, providing details of the successful mission on the Nigerian Army X account.

Ibrahim stated that during the operation, all the discovered terrorists’ enclaves, including that of a notorious terrorist kingpin identified as Sule, were destroyed as the terrorists fled their camps during heavy contact with the aggressive troops.

He further stated that in a separate incident, troops successfully rescued two victims who were abducted by the terrorists along Shinkafi-Isa Road in Zamfara State.

The captors abandoned their victims during a gun duel with the highly motivated troops, whose swift response led to the successful rescue.

All rescued victims are said to have been handed over to the appropriate authorities to facilitate their reunion with their respective families.
