The Acting Director represented by the Media Coordinator, Nigerian Army Operations, Colonel Aminu Iliyasu, added that the troops foiled 47 bandits attacks and 31 kidnap incidents and while 10 bandit’s camps and their logistics bases were destroyed by troops of Operation Sahel Sanity.

‘In all the search and rescue operations carried out, 108 kidnapped victims were rescued, 90 bandits informants and collaborators, 3 rustled cattle marketers and 12 bandits logistics suppliers were arrested and a total of 131 cows, 154 sheep/rams and one camel were recovered,’ he said.
