Over the past day, Nigerian Army personnel executed several coordinated missions across the country, resulting in the rescue of 34 kidnapped individuals, the arrest of suspected ISWAP informants, and the seizure of various weapons. According to official reports, Operation HADIN KAI forces saved 31 victims near the Buratai-Kamuya road in Borno State after soldiers used surveillance footage to track terrorists abducting civilians from multiple vehicles. The swift reaction force compelled the attackers to flee, leaving behind their equipment.
In other regions, troops conducted successful patrols in Mobbar, Borno State, recovering motorcycles and illicit drugs after militants retreated. In Adamawa State, military personnel captured a suspected ISWAP informant at Garaha Market. Meanwhile, in Zamfara, Operation FANSAN YAMMA forces utilized superior firepower to scatter a group of cattle rustlers in the Tsafe Local Government Area. In Lokoja, Kogi State, Operation MESA rescued a mother and her two children who had been abducted from a local Ruga settlement in late July.
Operations in the South-East led to a significant development as Operation UDO KA arrested three suspects connected to a May 4 ambush on security forces. Intelligence-led raids in Delta and Imo states allowed the military to recover stolen military hardware, including AK-47 rifles and an FN rifle, alongside a substantial stockpile of ammunition. Furthermore, soldiers in Plateau State managed to recover cattle and assist the family of a herder targeted in a recent assault.
