The soldiers of the Nigerian Army have prevented bandits from taking victims in the Dogon Awo village in Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State on Sunday, August 24, 2025, while trying to rustle cattle in that neighbourhood.
The men of Operation FASNAN Yanma soldiers, according to Zgazola Makama, a security expert and counterinsurgency consultant, said that the troops backed by police personnel, local vigilantes, community security groups, and Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) confronted the bandits in a fierce gun battle, forcing them to retreat into the forest.
While fleeing, the assailants stole a herd of cattle grazing at the village outskirts. In the pursuit, one CJTF member, Musa Abubakar, sustained a gunshot wound to the leg, while four others remain missing. Abubakar was rushed to the General Hospital, Funtua, for treatment. Search and rescue operations for the missing members are ongoing.
