Handing over the rescued captives, who comprised 128 women and 149 children to the State’s Commissioner of Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Zuwaira Gambo, at Maimalari Cantonment in Maiduguri, the Theatre Commander of ‘Operation Hadin Kai’, Maj. Gen. Shuaibu Waidi, said the victims were rescued during the Military operations at Bama, Dikwa and Monguno local government areas of the state.

He said upon their arrival at the barracks, they were subjected to medical checkups to ascertain their medical condition before they were profiled.

The Theatre Commander, who was represented by the deputy Theatre Commander, Maj. Gen. Ken Chigbu, said, “These are people we found out that they were abducted against their will. For us, we considered them as brothers and sisters. And when we saw them in that deplorable condition, we rescued them out for civilisation.

“We thank all stakeholders who have ensured that our brothers and sisters are brought out from the bush. The mandate of the ‘Operation Hadin Kai Joint Taskforce North-East’ is to restore normalcy and socio-economic activities in the region. We have adopted kinetic and non-kinetic approaches to the operations, and what we are witnessing is the larger part of non-kinetic approach.”
