The Katsina State Government has announced the successful rescue of four kidnap victims by troops of the Nigerian Army.
It said that the victims, aged 36 to 68, were rescued during ongoing operations targeting a suspected notorious bandit leader, one Kachalla Muhammadu Fulani, and members of his criminal gang.
The government explained that they regained their freedom during sustained military offensives in locations believed to be hideouts of the bandits.
The victims were said to have received immediate medical attention for gunshot wounds sustained while in captivity.
