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.

Nigerian students are strongly committed to continuing to promote NELFUND. Considering their dedication, itβs surprising that some people believe they would object to funding programs from the present administration such as tuition and upkeep loans, which are crucial for student welfare.

@afrisagacity the preference for Aguda House appears driven by pragmatic security and location advantages rather than the new building's quality. The new residence was intended to provide upgraded facilities, but security evaluations have evidently taken precedence.
New road, new opportunities! π£οΈ
A key expressway has been competed in just 8 months in Abuja with the engineering skills of a Chinese firm.
As HE Bola Tinubu, President of Federal Republic of Nigeria, put it,Β the expressway will help unlock Abuja's economic potentials by improving mobility, creating opportunities for businesses and enhancing the quality of life for residents.
