<p>According to military authorities, the rescue was achieved after weeks of intensive search-and-rescue operations conducted by troops of Operation FASAN YAMMA across bandit-infested areas of the state.</p>
<p>In a statement issued on Monday, the Director of Defence Information, Major General Samaila Uba, said troops intensified offensive operations against criminal elements, placing sustained pressure on the bandits and restricting their freedom of movement.</p>
<p>He disclosed that troops made contact with the kidnappers at Tunga Village during one of the operations, leading to the successful recovery of Mrs. Abubakar.</p><div class="Je9frtDF" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>The military revealed that during the encounter, the fleeing bandits shot Mrs. Abubakar before abandoning her as troops closed in on their location.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the course of the encounter, the bandits shot Mrs. Abubakar before abandoning her and fleeing due to the overwhelming pressure from advancing troops,&#8221; Major General Uba stated.</p>
<p>Following her rescue, Mrs. Abubakar was immediately evacuated to a military medical facility, where she is currently receiving treatment.</p>
<p>Military authorities said she is responding positively to medical care and that the Armed Forces of Nigeria are providing all necessary support to ensure her full recovery.</p>
<p>&#8220;The leadership of the Armed Forces of Nigeria remains committed to ensuring her full recovery and is providing all necessary support to her family during this difficult period,&#8221; the statement added.</p>
<p>The military also reaffirmed its commitment to pursuing those responsible for the abduction and other acts of terrorism and banditry across the country.</p>
<p>According to the Defence Headquarters, troops of Operation FASAN YAMMA will continue ongoing operations aimed at tracking down and neutralising the perpetrators, while intensifying efforts to restore security in affected communities.</p>
<p>The rescue operation is being viewed as another significant breakthrough in the ongoing military campaign against banditry and terrorism in the North-West region, particularly in Katsina State, where security forces have sustained pressure on criminal groups in recent months.</p>
<p>The Armed Forces assured Nigerians of their determination to rid not only Katsina State but the entire country of terrorist and criminal elements threatening national security.</p>
