Nigerian military rescues 363 victims, arrests scores of terrorists – DHQ

DHQ says the operations also resulted in the neutralisation of terrorists, recovery of arms and ammunition, disruption of logistics networks and dismantling of illegal oil refining facilities.

Major General Michael Onoja, Director of Defence Media Operations, while making this known, noted that sadly, one soldier was killed in action while another sustained injury in action.

ABUJA, Aug 6 - Nigerian security forces have rescued 308 people abducted in separate attacks in northern Niger and Kwara states, in what President Bola Tinubu described as the largest same-day rescue operation carried out by a joint security team.

The victims were rescued from a location in the Kainji Lake National Park Forest. Sprawling, often sparsely governed forests and reserves across the country have turned into hideouts for Nigerian criminal groups.

The Nigerian government announced the release of more than 300 kidnapping victims, including 163 taken from a single village in the west of the country earlier this year.
