The rescued victims were abducted in June 2022 by terrorists while working on a mining site in Ajata-Aboki, Gurmana Ward of Shiroro local government area of Niger State.
A statement by the Director of Public Relations & Information, NAF, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, on Saturday, says the Combat Search and Rescue operation, which consisted of 35 Special Forces, was conducted in the cover of night at Kanfani Doka and Gwaska general areas leading to the terrorists abandoning their enclaves, weapons and kidnapped victims while fleeing for their lives due to the superior firepower of the special forces.
