The General Officer Commanding (GOC), 1 Division Nigerian Army, Maj Gen Taoreed Lagbaja has led a team of operational commanders and operatives to rescue three kidnapped victims, while on an Operational cum inspection tour in Kaduna State.
The rescue operation took place on Thursday, August 25, 2022, leading to the rescue of two adult males and an elderly woman who have been conveyed to Kaduna, where they are currently receiving medical attention.
The GOC and his team rescued the victims from a group of armed kidnappers in Manini Village, along Pole Wire – Birnin Gwari Road, Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
It was learnt that the kidnappers had abducted the victims and were taken off when they were confronted by the GOC’s team.
The hot exchange of fire that followed subdued the kidnappers, compelling them to scamper in disarray with gunshot wounds into a nearby forest, abandoning their abductees.
