The Nigerian military has foiled an attack by bandits in Ungwan Garama, located in the Maraban Rido community of Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The state Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, disclosed this in a statement on Monday in Kaduna.
According to the statement, a distress call was received from the area and security forces swiftly responded, mobilizing to the location and engaging the bandits.
“After an intense exchange, the superior firepower of the troops forced the criminals to flee in disarray.
“The security forces exploited the withdrawal route of the bandits, and were thus able to rescue seven persons who had been kidnapped.
“The seven rescued persons are; Buba Samuel, Janet Buba, Rebecca Buba, Precious Buba, David Yohanna, Johnson Yohanna and John Daniel,” the commissioner said.
While congratulating the rescued victims, Governor Nasir El-Rufa’i commended the security forces for their spirited efforts and speed of response.
