In a daring operation, the Nigerian Army Troops of Operation SAFE HAVEN (OPSH) have successfully foiled a robbery attempt and rescued two victims in separate incidents in Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The first incident occurred on February 11, 2025, at about 7:45 p.m. along the Wasa–Ankwa road, where troops responded swiftly to a distress call and arrived at the scene to find that armed robbers had blocked the road.
The criminals abandoned their victim, Mr. Benjamin Yakubu, and fled into the bush upon sighting the advancing security personnel. The troops cleared the road, restoring normal movement, while Mr. Yakubu was evacuated to General Hospital, Gwantu, for medical attention.
