 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.
