In two distinct operations carried out in Zamfara State, troops of Operation Hadarin Daji have freed twenty hostages and eliminated two terrorists, among them the infamous terrorist leader Sainaje from Katsina State.
Captain Yahaya Ibrahim, the Operation Hadarin Daji Information Officer, revealed this in a statement on Tuesday
“The Joint Task Force North West Operation Hadarin Daji troops have recorded another success against the terrorists in continuation with the dry season clearance operations in its areas of responsibility in Zamfara State,” the statement said, sharing photographs on the Nigerian Army X account
“In the recent success, the troops rescued 20 kidnap victims unhurt and neutralised two terrorists including a notorious terrorists’ leader identified as Sainaje from Katsina State which led to the rescue of 18 kidnap victims comprising four males and 14 females as well as children.
“A separate operation was conducted in Zamfara State on the 29th of January 2024, the OPHD troops during its continuous clearance operation at terrorists’ enclaves at Rukudawa, Dumburum, Tsanu, Birnin Tsaba, Magare, and Shamushalle general areas of Zurmi and Birnin Magaji LGA of Zamfara State.
All of the terrorists’ enclaves that were found during the operation—including the home of infamous terrorist boss Sule—were destroyed as the terrorists abandoned their camps amid intense fighting between the hostile soldiers.
“In a same vein, the highly motivated troops of Operation Hadarin successfully freed two victims who had been kidnapped by terrorists while traveling along the Shinkafi-Isa Road in Zamfara State. The rapid response of the troops enabled the successful recovery. The proper authorities received all of the rescued victims and will reconnect them with their relatives.
