In a successful joint operation, troops from the Nigerian Army, in collaboration with local vigilantes, managed to rescue six hostages who had been abducted by bandits in the dense forest of Shanga Local Government Area in Kebbi. The operation, conducted by the troops of 1 Battalion stationed at Dukku Barracks in Birnin Kebbi, alongside vigilant community members, targeted Kogon Damisa Hill near Saminaka in Shanga LGA, situated on the border between Kebbi and Niger. The rescue mission proved effective, dislodging a significant number of bandits and ensuring the safe recovery of all six kidnap victims. Despite having been reported missing earlier, the victims were found to have been abducted some time ago. The hostages, comprising all males, were rescued in good condition and have since been reunited with their families. The success of the operation highlights the commitment of the Nigerian government to collaborate with and support security agencies in the ongoing efforts to combat criminal activities in the region. The government's Special Adviser to Governor Nasir Idris on Media and Publicity, Malam Yahaya Sarki, expressed gratitude to the gallant troops and emphasized the unwavering dedication to enhancing security across the state.
