Security Forces have successfully repelled multiple terrorist attacks across Zamfara State, neutralising a gunman, rescuing kidnap victims and recovering dozens of rustled livestock.
.According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency and security analyst, operations have been carried out in Anka, Shinkafi, and Bukkuyum Local Government Areas over the last 48 hours
Sources said troops deployed at Shinkafi engaged terrorists who had abducted locals near Shanawa village. The operation led to the killing of one terrorist and the recovery of an AK-47 rifle, three mobile phones, cash and other items.
In another incident, troops at Danmarke ambushed terrorists moving with rustled livestock from Kyairu village towards Bagega in Anka LGA. The troops forced the criminals to abandon 37 cows and a camel.
The recovered animals were handed over to the Bukkuyum Local Government Chairman, Mr. Aminu A. Gummi, in the presence of ward councillors and police representatives.
“These operations are restoring confidence among farming communities that have suffered repeated terrorist incursions,” the source said.
Residents commended the military for their swift response, saying the action prevented what could have been another mass displacement.
