Troops of the Nigerian Army rescued three individuals who had been abducted in the Sakaba Local Government Area of Kebbi State on Saturday, according to the army’s statement.
The operation, carried out by army personnel stationed in the region, resulted in the safe release of the three victims, who were taken from their homes earlier in the week. Details of the rescue mission, including the exact time and tactics used, were not disclosed.
The rescued persons are now receiving medical attention and support from local authorities, although their condition and identities have not been released to the public.
Kebbi State, like several other parts of northwestern Nigeria, has been affected by a rise in banditry and kidnapping incidents in recent years, prompting heightened security measures by the military and police forces.
The army reiterated its commitment to safeguarding civilians and continuing operations aimed at curbing criminal activity in the region.
