Meanwhile, troops in Taraba State have nabbed 12 suspected kidnappers in Takum Local Government Area of the state.
The kidnappers were reportedly apprehended after a distress call from residents of Chachanji village regarding the abduction of two individuals by a group of around 10 armed men on motorcycles on 7 November.
The spokesman for 6 Brigade, Captain Olubodunde Oni, in a statement said said 14 motorcycles, two bags of Indian hemp, and a locally made pistol were recovered during the rescue operation.
“Upon making contact with the armed group, the superior firepower of the troops forced the kidnappers to withdraw deep into the bush, leaving behind their locally fabricated pistol and two bags of Indian hemp,” he said,
“The troops’ thorough exploitation of the area prevented further criminal activity and disrupted the kidnappers’ operations.”
According to the statement, in a follow-up operation, the troops arrested the 12 suspects and seized 14 motorcycles at a local drinking joint in Mbhakyir village, close to Agu Centre, on 9 November
