…11 terrorist-agents also arrested
A crackdown on a gang of bandits operating around the Dansadau axis in Maru LGA of Zamfara State by troops of the Nigerian Army dubbed “Operation Hadarin Daji” on December 17 led to the successful rescue of 13 abducted victims.
The terrorists fled on sighting the troops approaching, abandoning their hostages.
All rescued victims are indigenes of Mutunji village of Dansadau Emirate in Maru county of Zamfara.
The Nigerian Army has handed them over to the Zamfara State government to unite them with their families.
Similarly, at Zurmi LGA, the troops cleared a terrorists’ hideout at Gidan Jaja village and arrested suspected 11 terrorist agents at neighbouring Kwanar Boko village.
The suspects were nabbed on their way to supply 127 bags of grains in two trucks to a terrorist kingpin Halilu Sububu.
“The arrested suspects are undergoing preliminary interrogation,” the Nigerian Army said in a statement on Monday.
