A joint security team deployed to Suru and Maiyama local government areas of Kebbi on Tuesday rescued two persons abducted by suspected bandits.
The operation was conducted by operatives of the Nigerian Army, NSCDC, DSS and vigilante groups.
Confirming the development to newsmen in Birnin Kebbi, the Director in charge of Security Service, Cabinet Office, AbdulRahman Zagga, attributed the success to the support of Governor Nasir Idris in providing all the necessary tools to the agencies.
“Following the consistent efforts of the Kebbi Governor, Dr Nasir Idris in supporting the security agencies operating in the state, a joint team of security operatives on Tuesday successfully rescued two kidnapped victims.
“The operation was successful; we were able to follow the bandits from Giro forest to Boma and down to Zugu Liba forest where the victims were rescued,” he said.
Zagga said that the kidnappers could no longer withstand the security pressure, thereby abandoning the victims.
He explained that the rescued victims were handed over to the village head and the vigilante chairman of Zugu Liba village for them to be reunited with their families.
He called on the people to support the security operatives with useful information that would assist them in curtailing the challenges of insecurity in the state.
