Troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA have reportedly rescued three kidnapping victims during a security operation in Sakaba Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The operation, carried out on Saturday, October 24, 2026, reportedly led to the rescue of three people aged 15, 27 and 46 from Makuku and Dankolo villages.
According to information released about the operation, the victims were recovered by troops conducting security operations aimed at combating kidnapping and other criminal activities in the area.
Following their rescue, the three victims were handed over to community authorities.
