Zamfara State - In a daring operation carried out on August 11th, 2023, troops from Sector 1 of Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) successfully rescued a prominent former Provost, Dr. Hassan Abubakar Augie, and his son from the clutches of armed bandits in Zamfara State.
The rescue mission unfolded during a routine patrol along the Shemori - Yandoto road at Marke general area. The OPHD troops unexpectedly encountered a group of heavily-armed bandits, sparking a fierce firefight that lasted for hours. With their superior training, courage, and firepower, the troops compelled the bandits to retreat in panic, seeking refuge deep within the nearby forest.
Not content with merely repelling the criminals, the determined OPHD troops, displaying unwavering commitment to their mission, initiated a daring pursuit operation. Fearlessly venturing into the dense jungle, they relentlessly tracked down the fleeing bandits, guided by their dedication to bringing justice and safety to the region.
Their efforts bore fruit as they eventually located the hideout where the bandits had been holding Dr. Augie and his son hostage. Miraculously, both individuals emerged unharmed from their ordeal, a testament to the skill and professionalism of the troops.
In interviews following their rescue, it was revealed that the abduction had occurred late the previous night when armed bandits raided Dr. Augie's residence. The assailants forcibly abducted him and his son, taking them deep into the forest. Panic and worry gripped their families and the community as news of their kidnapping spread.
However, the joyous outcome of the operation brought immeasurable relief and jubilation. Dr. Augie and his son were reunited with their loved ones, who expressed profound gratitude towards the OPHD troops for their heroic actions.
The success of this rescue operation further demonstrates the unwavering commitment of Operation Hadarin Daji to combating banditry and restoring peace in Zamfara State.

As the OPHD continues to make significant strides in its mission, the people of Zamfara State are reassured that the government and security forces are working tirelessly to safeguard their lives and bring an end to the reign of terror perpetrated by armed bandits.
The successful rescue of Dr. Augie and his son serves as a beacon of hope in the ongoing battle against banditry, reminding us all of the bravery, skill, and dedication of our armed forces in protecting the innocent and preserving our collective security and well-being.
