Troops of Operation FANSAN YANMA have repelled multiple terrorist attacks across Zamfara State, neutralising a gunman, rescuing kidnap victims and recovering dozens of rustled livestock.
Zagazola Makama report that the operations were carried out in Anka, Shinkafi, and Bukkuyum Local Government Areas in the past 48 hours.

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.
