Three civilians were rescued by Nigerian Army troops after being abducted by bandits in Kushere Village, Kaduna State, in the early hours of Tuesday. The victims, identified as Abdullahi, Saidu Julfe, and Kamilu Joddi, were taken during a raid before troops from Forward Operating Base Dokan Karji responded to a distress call at approximately 1:00 a.m. and launched an immediate pursuit. The rescue operation led to an exchange of fire along the Kafin Gora axis, where the kidnappers fled, leaving behind the three hostages. A military operational report, made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Abuja, confirmed the successful recovery and noted that the security situation in the area remains calm but unpredictable. The report credited the troops' swift action and high combat efficiency for the outcome. Operation FANSAN YAMMA, the military's ongoing security initiative in the region, continues to conduct offensive operations targeting criminal elements across the North-West and North-Central zones.
