Security operatives have rescued 10 commuters who were abducted along the Ochadamu–Anyigba road in Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State.
The development was disclosed in a post sighted by AFRIPOST on X, formerly Twitter by Counter Insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama.
He wrote, “It will be recalled that the victims were kidnapped on Aug. 11 near Ugbakpedo village, prompting a rescue mission by police operatives, vigilantes, and local hunters.
“On Aug. 13, at about 4:30 a.m., during an intensive bush combing operation supported with the use of tear gas, the abductors abandoned the victims and fled.
“All 10 victims were rescued unharmed and have since been reunited with their families, Makama’s sources said.
“Security sources said intelligence gathering, surveillance, and further bush combing were ongoing to track and arrest the fleeing suspects.”
