The troops of the Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies, in the South West have successfully rescued 8 more students of Confluence University of Science and Technology, Osara, Kogi State taken hostage by terrorists.
The rescue operation took place in a dense forest near Oro Ago Village in Kwara State following an intense clearance mission by the collaborating troops and security operatives, who uncovered the location of the kidnapped students through Swift, comprehensive search of nearby forests to locate the remaining abducted students.
The search efforts were concentrated along the Gbugu, Pategi, and Oro Ago Axis, including areas such as Babasango and Babanla.
Consequently, the troops detected the movement of the terrorists, who were attempting to relocate the hostages and as troops approached the terrorists' location, the terrorists abandoned the students and fled into the forest.
The rescued students have been safely evacuated and handed over to the authorities of Kogi State Government for further action and reunion with their families.
This operation underscores the commitment of the Nigerian Army and other security agencies to ensuring the safety and security of citizens, particularly in regions plagued by terrorists' activities.
The swift and decisive action of the troops has not only saved lives but also sent a strong message to terrorist elements operating in the area.
The Nigerian Army enjoins the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the nearest security agency, as collective efforts are crucial in the fight against terrorism and criminality in the region.
