Troops of 33 Artillery Brigade have received two rescued kidnap victims in Alkaleri Local Government Area of Bauchi State.

According to the sources, the victims had been abducted separately on February 26 and March 10, 2026, by armed bandits.
They added that the victims reportedly escaped on April 10 following an air strike and ongoing clearance operations that forced the terrorists to flee their hideouts.
The sources said the victims are currently in military custody for profiling before being handed over to an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in Fukuk for further care and documentation.
They noted that clearance operations in the area are ongoing to deny terrorists freedom of action.
