Troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA have thwarted separate kidnap attempts in Zamfara State, rescuing the Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Kaura Namoda, Dr. Aminu Yusuf, and dozens of other victims during coordinated security operations. The military said troops engaged the assailants on arrival, forcing them to retreat and abandon the kidnap attempt, while the rector and his family were rescued safely. The military also said troops intercepted another group of armed men targeting a businessman, Alhaji Azaria, in the same community. During the operations, troops arrested a 45-year-old suspect, Falalu Yusuf, who is alleged to have provided information to the attackers. Commending the troops, Danja said Operation FANSAN YAMMA remains committed to sustaining operations aimed at restoring peace and tackling insecurity across Zamfara State and the wider North-West region.
