50 Kidnap Victims Rescued, 32 Cows Recovered In Katsina

Troops operating under Operation Fansar Yanma have rescued 50 kidnapped victims and recovered 32 stolen cows following a bandit attack in Raudama village, Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State.

Sources told Zagazola Makama that the incident occurred around 8:00 p.m. on April 27, when armed bandits stormed the community.

A swift response from a combined team of army and police personnel led to the rapid deployment of joint patrol forces, who engaged the attackers in a fierce gun battle.

The troops eventually overpowered the bandits, forcing them to retreat, and successfully secured the release of the kidnapped victims as well as the recovery of the rustled cattle.
