Troops of Sector 2 of Operation FANSAN YAMMA have rescued four kidnapped victims in separate operations across Zamfara and Kebbi States on October 21, 2026.

‎Security expert Bakatsine disclosed this on his verified X handle on Thursday.

‎According to him, in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State, troops rescued two victims — Mansur Shehu, 25, and Kadijat Haruna, 49 — from a farmland in Binoni Marafa.
‎
‎In a separate operation in Kebbi State, troops rescued two other victims, Jimoh Su-Arege, 35, and Kalahe Danjuma, 41, between Bena and Sawade, following reports of suspected terrorists moving with kidnapped victims from Dipindu village in Danko-Wasagu LGA. The rescued victims were subsequently handed over to the Seriki of Dipindu.

‎Troops have continued to intensify patrols and surveillance to deny criminal elements freedom of action across the North-West.
