In a major breakthrough in the fight against terrorism and banditry, troops of Operation Fasin Yamma have rescued 106 kidnapped victims following a decisive raid on a terrorist hideout in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State, the Defence Headquarters announced on Friday.
Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Markus Kangye, revealed that the raid was part of a broader series of coordinated military offensives across the country. He further disclosed that an additional 32 kidnapped victims, including 27 adult females and 5 children, were released by terrorists to the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) on 20 July 2025, following sustained non-kinetic engagements.
In a separate operation, troops working in conjunction with the Department of State Services (DSS) apprehended notorious terrorist kingpin Muhammadu Hamisu, also known as Mamiyo, along with five of his associates in Zamfara and Sokoto States. Weapons, motorcycles, illicit drugs, logistics supplies, and ₦192,300 in cash were recovered during the raids.
Kangye detailed a series of joint operations conducted across the North West, North East, North Central, South South, and South East zones between 16 and 22 July 2025, which resulted in the arrest of over 250 suspects, rescue of over 160 kidnapped victims, and the recovery of significant caches of arms, ammunition, and vehicles.
