Troops rescue four kidnap victims in Plateau
The rescue followed a security operation launched after troops deployed at Sopp received information about suspected kidnappers operating along the highway at about 10.40pm on 9 November.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the troops, attached to Sector 6, moved to the area after receiving the report and discovered that the kidnappers had blocked the road before abducting passengers.
The assailants reportedly fled towards nearby high ground with their victims as the troops arrived at the scene.
The rescued victims were identified as Mrs Aisha Haruna and her son, ASP Yusuf Habila, Mr Abdullahi Yunusa and a truck driver transporting goods from Rivers State to Bauchi State.
The victims were taken to the troops’ location for safety and further necessary assistance.
