The troops of Operation Hadarin Daji on the night of Sunday foil a kidnap attempt by bandits at the outskirts of Kwatarkwashi Village in Gusau Local Government Area.

 

It was gathered that a large number of the terrorists on motorcycles dispatched Munhaye forest at about 10:45pm, in an attempt to attack the Bukunku community near Kwatarkwashi, Gusau LGA. 

 

But in a prompt response to a distress call, the troops  foiled the attack and rescued three abducted persons after engaging them in a shootout, forcing them to abandon the 3 Kidnap victims, who were immediately rescued by the troops. 

 

One of the victims, however, sustained injury and has been evacuated to a hospital for further medical attention, while efforts are ongoing to apprehend the perpetrators.
