The troops arrested the three suspected kidnappers on Thursday, April 18, 2024, as they attempted to smuggle the victim into a nearby bush.

The Nigerian Army, in a statement on its official X handle on Friday, said the suspected kidnappers rigorously tortured the victim before they were intercepted by the troops.

The statement said the suspected kidnappers were arrested, and three locally fabricated guns were recovered from them.

Relatedly, troops in another jointly coordinated effort with hunters and other security agencies, neutralised a notorious terrorist, identified as Gambo Kachallah, who had been terrorising the communities in Taraba State.
