Soldiers have rescued a kidnap victim in Kaduna and foiled a terrorist attack in Sokoto, according to reports. The Kaduna State Police Command rescued 75 men, women, and children who were kidnapped by armed men near Folwaya Village in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of the state.
The victims, identified as Fulani travellers, were abducted while travelling in commercial buses on August 19 at about 5:30pm. The kidnappers took them into a forest and concealed them in a cave within a mountainous area.
A crack team from the Birnin Gwari Area Command was deployed to the location after receiving credible information from the National Union of Road Transport Workers. The kidnappers fled on sighting the police operatives, abandoning the victims, who were rescued unharmed, as per Daily Trust.
