At least 58 persons, including women and children, who were abducted by bandits in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, have been freed.
They were released around 3 p.m. on Thursday, November 14, following a non-kinetic operation facilitated by Kaduna State Governor Senator Uba Sani in collaboration with the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA).
After their release, the rescued victims were first taken for medical checkups before being debriefed at the Office of the National Security Adviser by Nuhu Ribadu.
They were later handed over to the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, who subsequently passed them on to Governor Uba Sani’s representative, Chief of Staff Sani Kila.
Daily Trust reports that “In an interview, the Chief of Staff expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu, the NSA, and the military for their continued support in the fight against insecurity in Kaduna and the Northwest region.”
He specifically commended Governor Sani for his pivotal role in ensuring the release of the victims.
