In a swift and coordinated operation, troops of the Nigerian Army have successfully rescued seven kidnapped victims from captivity in Taraba State, restoring hope to affected families and underscoring the military’s commitment to combating insecurity across the country.
The rescue operation, which took place in a densely forested area of the state, was executed following credible intelligence on the hideout of the criminal gang responsible for the abduction.
According to military sources, the troops moved with precision, overpowering the suspected kidnappers and freeing the victims unharmed. The victims, who had been held for several days, were immediately provided with medical attention and psychosocial support by military health personnel.
While details surrounding the identities of the victims remain confidential for security reasons, authorities confirmed that no ransom was paid during the operation.
> “This operation is part of ongoing efforts by the Nigerian Army to rid Taraba and other parts of the North-East of all forms of criminal activity, especially kidnapping and banditry,” a senior military officer involved in the rescue told Stone Reporters News.
The military further reaffirmed its resolve to continue working with local communities, traditional leaders, and security stakeholders to ensure timely intelligence gathering and rapid response to threats.
Residents of the area have expressed relief and gratitude, praising the professionalism and bravery of the soldiers.
This latest success adds to a growing list of tactical counter-insurgency victories by the Nigerian military in recent months, especially under ongoing operations aimed at restoring peace to conflict-prone regions in Nigeria.
