Troops from Operation Fansan Yamms rescued three kidnapped civilians in Kushera Village, Kaduna State, following a distress call in the early hours of Tuesday. The victims, identified as Abdullahi, Saidu Julfe and Kamilu Joddi, were abducted by armed bandits who invaded the community. Troops deployed from Forward Operating Base (FOB) Dokan Karji responded at around 1:00 a.m. and launched a pursuit after learning the kidnappers had fled toward the Kafin Gora axis. An exchange of fire occurred during the operation, leading to the criminals fleeing and abandoning the victims. The military confirmed the successful rescue and stated that the security situation in the area remains calm but unpredictable. The report emphasized sustained offensive operations against criminal elements in the North-West and North-Central regions. Troops' morale and combat efficiency were described as high. The incident was detailed in an operational report shared with journalists in Abuja on Tuesday.
The military reports high morale and combat efficiency even as bandits still operate with speed and precision in Kushere Village. Troops responded within minutes yet the kidnappers had already fled with three victims before intervention. Abdullahi, Saidu Julfe and Kamilu Joddi were recovered only after a chase and gunfire, not prevention. For residents of Kushere, the gap between threat and response remains a matter of survival, not statistics.
