VIDEO: Nigeria’s Most Wanted Bandit Caught Amid Air Strikes By NAF |Rescue Mission Saves 76 Hostages

In a dramatic counteroffensive, Nigerian forces have rescued at least 76 hostages, including women and children, abducted during last week’s deadly mosque attack in Katsina State.

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) launched precision strikes on the hideout of notorious bandit leader Babaro at Pauwa Hill in Kankara, neutralizing militants and freeing captives.

Authorities confirmed all abductees from the Malumfashi mosque massacre were rescued, though one child tragically lost his life.

The mosque attack left at least 50 worshippers dead, underscoring the escalating wave of kidnappings and killings in Nigeria’s northwest.

The government says the operation is part of a broader crackdown on criminal gangs terrorizing villages across Katsina and Zamfara.

Earlier this month, over 100 women and children were kidnapped in separate raids.

Meanwhile, in Borno State, NAF strikes killed more than 35 jihadists near Cameroon’s border, signaling Nigeria’s intensified war against terror.
