Soldiers from section 1 of Operation Haderin Daji successfully liberated Dr. Hassan Abubakar Augie, the former Provost of the Federal College of Education Technical (FCET) in Gusau, Zamfara State, along with his son, both of whom had been kidnapped in the state capital.
Reliable sources indicate that troops stationed at the Forward Operating Base (FOB) Mada in Gusau discovered armed militants while conducting a routine patrol along the Marke general area of the Shemori-Yandoto road. The soldiers promptly engaged the terrorists in a fierce exchange of gunfire.
The outcome of this confrontation was the rescue of the abducted individuals. The source elaborated that the soldiers and the militants clashed for several hours, ultimately compelling the bandits to retreat into the forest.
Subsequently, the Operation Haderin Daji troops pursued the criminals into the wooded area, resulting in their abandonment of the two kidnapped victims. Dr. Augie and his son emerged unharmed from the ordeal. Additionally, two operational motorcycles belonging to the fleeing bandits were recovered by the troops.
In an interview following their rescue, Dr. Augie and his son recounted that they had been forcibly taken from their residence in the state capital and transported into the forest.
With a sense of joyous celebration, it is reported that the victims have been successfully reunited with their family.
