NIGERIAN ARMY TROOPS RESCUE TWO KIDNAP VICTIMS IN BOLD OPERATION SAVANNAH SHIELD STRIKE
In a decisive demonstration of operational prowess, troops of the Joint Task Force (JTF) North Central Operation SAVANNAH SHIELD (OPSS), deployed at Patrol Base Babasango, have successfully rescued two civilians from the clutches of kidnappers in Kwara State. On 3 June 2026, during an aggressive fighting patrol to Gidan Dogo Ekaa, the troops encountered and secured the victims who had daringly escaped their captors’ custody. This swift intervention highlights the Nigerian Army’s relentless commitment to neutralizing threats and restoring peace in vulnerable communities.
The rescued individuals, Mr Temitope Samuel, 42 and Mr Mohammed Sani, 40, were immediately taken into protective custody by the troops. Both men have been transferred to Patrol Base Babanla, where they are receiving comprehensive medical care, psychological support and all necessary assistance. Arrangements are now in full swing to reunite them safely with their families, ensuring their swift return to normal life.
The Nigerian Army remains resolute in its mandate to safeguard lives and property through sustained, intelligence-led operations under Operation SAVANNAH SHIELD. We commend the gallant troops for their bravery and professionalism, while calling on the public to continue providing timely information that strengthens our collective fight against insecurity.
Bro to bro:
Work on your social media presence & visibility.
It will be an invaluable asset, even more than it is now, in years to come.
Don't be among those who will bite their fingers in regret.
With very few exemptions like @ThaBoyYom, everyone blocks. Their reason for blocking doesn’t have to make sense to you.
You block people because you don’t like their tweets or opinion. Some block because they don’t like how you disagree with them. Six and half a dozen.
The reason you block people for their tweets is because they are in disagreement with your opinion. You don’t see it that way because it is not a direct disagreement. But the premise is the same.
Whatever their reason is, just block back and keep it moving. You don’t want everyone in your space. Others want same. Why is yours valid and theirs not? Why do you want to be able to engage that particular person by fire, by force? If the person that blocks you has low self esteem and fragile ego, what would you say about you that is crying over someone not wanting you to engage them?
Perhaps, there are ancillary benefits to engaging the person you don’t want to lose. Oh well 🤷🏽♂️
