Troops rescue kidnap victims in Plateau

Troops of Operation Enduring Peace have rescued two kidnap victims in separate operations in Plateau State.

The military said troops in Bassa Local Government Area acted on credible information about the abduction of Ndubuisi Onuigbo on Tuesday and launched a search-and-rescue operation that freed him.

In a second operation, troops in Kanam Local Government Area encountered suspected terrorists during a patrol early Wednesday. They pursued the fleeing gunmen, who abandoned their captive, Mallam Sambo Abdullahi, who was then rescued.

Both victims were debriefed and reunited with their families.

Operation Enduring Peace commander, Major General Maxwell Dangana, urged residents to remain calm and continue sharing information with security forces, as troops work to restore lasting peace in Plateau.
