Nigeria: Troops Rescue Seven Kidnapped Victims in Zamfara, Foil Abduction Attempts in Katsina
- On Tuesday, Lieutenant Hassan Abdullahi, Acting Assistant Director of Army Public Relations for the 12 Brigade Nigerian Army, announced that troops rescued five kidnap victims abandoned by terrorists in Adankolo Forest, Kogi State.
- Sustained military offensives, including air strikes and ground assaults on terrorist hideouts, forced criminal groups to disperse and abandon the victims while fleeing intense operational pressure.
- Troops deployed from Forward Operating Base Oshokoshoko intercepted the victims during a blocking mission along the Oshokoshoko-Adankolo route, then evacuated them to a military facility for medical treatment and intelligence debriefing.
- Abdullahi stated that efforts are underway to reunite the survivors with their families after administrative procedures, while military authorities confirmed offensives will continue until all terrorist camps are dismantled.
- Recent successes include the reported killing of bandit leader Kachala Ibrahim Batijo and the earlier recovery of 23 victims, as authorities maintain security restrictions across the Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area.
