Troops of Operation Hadarin Daji have rescued some kidnapped victims in continuation of sustained offensive operations against armed bandits and other criminals in the North West Zone of the country.
The Coordinator, Defence Media Operations at the Defence Headquarters, Major General John Enenche, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
He said, “On 20 December 2020, troops responded to a distress call on bandits’ activities at Yenyewa Village.
“Accordingly, troops mobilized swiftly to the location where they made contact and engaged the armed bandits.
“The gallant troops overwhelmed the criminals with superior firepower and forced them to abandon 10 kidnapped victims before fleeing in disarray. The rescued kidnapped victims have been reunited with their families.”
