Troops of Sector 7 of Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP), have foiled a kidnap attempt and rescued a victim in Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the troops responded at about 5:50 p.m. on July 26 to a distress call reporting a kidnapping incident in Ikulu, Gora general area.
The sources said the troops swiftly mobilised to the scene, forcing the kidnappers to abandon their victim and flee.
The rescued victim, who sustained gunshot wounds during the incident, was evacuated for medical attention before being reunited with his family.
Security forces have intensified efforts to track down the fleeing suspects, while operations continue to deny criminal elements freedom of action across the area.
