Sokoto: troops foil terrorist attack, suspected kidnappers abduct four civilians in Isa LGA By: Zagazola Makama Troops of Forward Operating Base (FOB) Isa, in collaboration with Department of State Services (DSS) personnel, have foiled a terrorist attack in Isa Local Government Area of Sokoto State. Security sources said the incident occurred at about 12:13 a.m. on April 6 when troops responded to intelligence on terrorist activities in Dan Zanke village. According to the sources, the troops engaged the assailants on arrival, forcing them to flee into surrounding bushes. The troops subsequently launched a pursuit operation through Dan Zanke and Modaci villages up to a riverbank but were reportedly hindered by a damaged bridge, which limited further advance. During the operation, security operatives received information that four civilians had been abducted by the fleeing terrorists. The sources added that troops have continued to dominate the general area with patrols to prevent further attacks and track down the perpetrators.
