By Sadiq Aminu                                                        On February 29, 2024, the Joint Task Force Northwest Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) executed a bold rescue mission, saving two kidnapping victims and eliminating a bandit in Zamfara State.

Lieutenant Omale Suleiman, the information officer of Operation Hadarin Daji, said the operation was conducted by the courageous efforts of the troops at the forward operating Base (FOB) OPHD Dan-Marke.

Lt Omale noted that the operation, prompted by intelligence reports of bandit movements near Kairu Village, involved a swift response, resulting in a prolonged gun battle forcing the bandits to retreat with injuries. One bandit was neutralized, and an operational motorcycle was recovered.

“Simultaneously, OPHD troops responded to a distress call in Unguwar Sarkin Musulmi village, rescuing a driver and passenger, and securing the area. In another operation in Katsina State’s Batsari general area, OPHD troops engaged bandits, neutralizing two and recovering an operational motorcycle, prompting others to flee into the forest.” He added

According to him, Major General Godwin Mutkut, the General Officer Commanding 8 Division, commended the troops’ gallant performance, urging them to sustain the momentum until peace is fully restored in the Northwest.
