DHQ PRESS RELEASE
TROOPS RESCUE WIFE OF FORMER DIRECTOR DEFENCE INFORMATION FROM BANDITS
Troops of the Nigerian Army with the support of the Nigerian Air Force have successfully rescued Mrs Amina Abubakar, wife of the late Major General Rabe Abubakar and former Director Defence Information, who was abducted by bandits alongside her husband a few weeks ago.
The rescue operation followed intensified search-and-rescue efforts conducted by troops of Operation FASAN YAMMA. During sustained offensive operations and pressure mounted on the criminal elements, troops made contact with the bandits at Tunga Village, leading to the successful recovery of Mrs Abubakar.
In the course of the encounter, the bandits shot Mrs Abubakar before abandoning her and fleeing due to the overwhelming pressure from advancing troops.
Mrs Abubakar was immediately evacuated and is currently receiving medical attention at a military hospital, where she is responding to treatment.
The leadership of the Armed Forces of Nigeria remain committed to ensuring her full recovery and is providing all necessary support to her family during this difficult period.
Troops will continue ongoing operations to track down and neutralise the perpetrators, while intensifying efforts to rid affected communities of terrorists not just in Katsina but in the entire nation.

DSS alerts Edo State of a possible planned mass abduction of school children by terrorists
I don’t know why the @OfficialDSSNG keeps calling terrorists “bandits”.
Just downloaded my Skiathos videos from last week, here’s a small preview of the absolute chaos when people underestimate the power of aircraft engines!
Pls watch this report compiled by Freedom Radio Kano on the situation of Dawanau Primary Sch. No teachers, no furnitures, no teaching materials and above all they sold the school premises to individuals who are now building shops.
What baffles me the most is the comment made...
