Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have arrested two armed robbery suspects and rescued a kidnapped woman in separate successful operations across Mubi North and Hong Local Government Areas of Adamawa State.
In the first incident, troops responded to a distress call from Barama community in Mubi North LGA at about 2:30 a.m. on January 29, 2026, after receiving reports of an attempted robbery targeting a student of the Federal Polytechnic in the students’ village area.
The troops swiftly mobilised to the scene and arrested two suspects during the operation.
“In the process, one of the suspects was shot in the thigh while attempting to confront the troops and was taken to the Federal Medical Centre, Mubi, for treatment. The suspects have been handed over to the police for further action,” sources told Zagazola Makama.
Items recovered from the arrested suspects included three cutlasses, two laptops, four mobile phones, and a power bank.
In a separate operation on January 28, 2026, troops working alongside local vigilantes conducted a fighting patrol along the Amtasa–Washim axis in Hong LGA.
“During the patrol, troops made contact with terrorists and engaged them with a high volume of fire, forcing them to withdraw in disarray,” the report said.
During the encounter, the troops successfully rescued a woman who had been abducted by the terrorists and carried out exploitation of the general area.
Items recovered from the scene included one AK-47 rifle with registration number 2056792 and two rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, one sub-machine gun rifle, and 42 rounds of ammunition.
