Nigerians soldiers have saved 3 kidnapped people and killed terrorists during seperate missions in Adamawa State.

The army's Acting Media Information Officer, Capt. Mohammed Goni, announced the results in a statement on Tuesday.

In the first operation, kidnappers seized a farmer, Happiness Dama Dauda, from her farm around Dutse Uku in Mubi South on 9 November and stole her motorcycle.

Troops, working with local hunters, chased the abductors, who fled and left her behind.

The pursuit also led to the rescue of two other residents who had been taken earlier, bringing the total to three.

Troops also recovered a motorcycle, a tricycle carrying 15 bags of beans and a pickup with 13 bags of groundnuts, which belonged to farmers who narrowly escaped abduction.

Village heads identified the items and returned them to their owners.

In a separate incident on 8 November at Zangula Kilba Junction in Gombi, troops foiled an attack by Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters.

Two terrorists were killed, and the rest fled.

Soldiers recovered two AK 47 rifles, ammunition, explosive devices and other items.

Goni said troops are still hunting the fleeing fighters and have stepped up patrols to reassure residents.

He also urged local communities to share information with security forces.
